WP:  The Man in the Water

     The Man in the Water is an essay that Roger Rosenblatt wrote the week of the Air Florida Flight 90 crash in Washington DC.  It was a trip that started out with 79 people on board, and it ended with only 5 survivors.  “Washington, the city of form and regulations, turned chaotic” (Rosenblatt).  It was one of the first disasters that was caught on live television, and the hole world stopped to watch as rescuers tried to save the six people who were alive after the impact of the plane.
