With photos like these, a reverse image search can be quite useful.
This screenshot is from a digital animation video that served as a reenactment of the 1982 crash. It was created for a National Geographic documentary.the doomed airliner’s brief journey on the 40th anniversary of the crash. After taking off during a snowstorm from Washington National Airport, the airplane “slammed into the 14th Street Bridge and plunged into the Potomac River”:
The crash investigation revealed a cascade of errors by the pilots of Air Florida Flight 90, an experienced crew that was nonetheless not used to flying in snow and ice. Its Boeing 737 lumbered down the runway, despite the first officer saying several times “that don’t seem right.” “The pilot should say, ‘we should abort the take off,’” [Jeff Marcus, chief of safety recommendations at the National Transportation Safety Board] said. But the flight was already delayed, held up in a queue of departing planes, and aborting would have meant circling around for another round of de-icing.
So the jet took off, but only reached an altitude of 350 feet before hitting the bridge. The crash killed 74 crew members and passengers on the plane and four people on the ground.Joe Stiley, one of the five people onboard who survived the incident. He said that he initially blacked out after the crash, but was awakened by the icy water that began to fill the airplane:
In sum, no, the image that showed an airplane crashing into a bridge did not show the 1982 crash of Air Florida Flight 90, nor was the picture even real. It was nothing more than a digital illustration created by a graphic designer.
