One survivor, a brown-haired woman in a red blouse who had been clinging to the tail of the jet, lost her grasp on a white life ring suspended from a helicopter and slid back into the ice-choked river. For several minutes she lay belly up on a partially submerged cake of ice, feebly paddling for shore. Helicopter pilots said her eyes apparently were blinded by jet fuel. The helicopter dropped the ring in front of her again. She clutched it but was too weak to hang on.

Her head sank below the surface of the river. Just when she seemed to be drowning, Lenny Skutnik, 28, drawn to the crash after crossing the bridge on his way home from work, flung himself from the bank into the water and towed her in.

"I felt so helpless," said Skutnik, who works for the Congressional Budget Office. "She was screaming 'Would somebody please help me!' It looked like she had passed out. I jerked off my boots and coat and jumped in the water." If not for Skutnik's valor, firemen said later, the woman might have died.

He had been driving home from work when Air Florida Flight 90 fell from the sky just 20 seconds after takeoff from Washington National Airport.

The next day, Howard Stern called the airline and asked how much for a ticket from National Airport to 14th Street. He was fired not long after that.

I knew she'd have something good. Thanks, John.

And we still do not know how many hearts were ignited by the gentle grandfatherly words of Ronaldus Magnus. Truly, the flame endures.
