That had to be the grimmest public transportation ride in history.

I got on the train around when the plane hit the Pentagon. I'm amazed they hadn't shut it down yet.

Related to current events, and maybe you know this already -- after 9/11 they changed the allowed flight paths around National such that every inbound flight is basically doing a canyon run over the Potomac. I'm willing to bet that was a contributing factor to the recent crash.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out.

They do make a canyon run basically! It's interesting to watch.

I used to fly into National every two weeks, for about three years. Landing pattern was always a trip, 737 making real tight turns for a commercial airliner.

I don't recall if I've flown into DCA since then, but that sounds fun!
