Both craft immediately plunged into the frigid Potomac River, at the cost of 67 lives.

Aaron Robinson has been on the auto beat for more than 30 years as reporter and editor for various trade and consumer publications, including a 17-year stint at Car and Driver. He is currently editor-at-large for Hagerty magazine, which simply means they don’t know where he is most of the time.
