Detai1. As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst US air crashes on record. (para. 1)
4. And there was the aesthetic clash as well-blue-and-green Air Florida, ... sunk down among gray chunks of ice in a black river. (para. 1)
When the air crash occurred, it was not just a clash (a loud sound made by two objects) of metal against the bridge,
but also a clash between colors: the blue-green color of the plane and the gray and black color of the ice and river.
the aesthetic clash: the combination of different colors which looked very bad (aesthetic: sth connected with the study of beauty)
The music came in full blast from next door, and I had to call the police to stop it.

As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst U.S. air crashes on record . There was the unusual element of the bridge, of course, and the fact that the plane clipped it at a moment of high traffic, one routine thus intersecting another and disrupting both. Then, too, there was the location of the event. Washington, the city of form and regulations, turned chaotic, deregulated, by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal. The jets from Washington National Airport that normally swoop around the presidential monuments like famished gulls are, for the moment, emblemized by the one that fell; so there is that detail. And there was the aesthetic clash as well—blue-and-green Air Florida, the name a flying garden, sunk down among gray chunks in a black river. All that was worth noticing, to be sure. Still, there was nothing very special in any of it, except death, which, while always special, does not necessarily bring millions to tears or to attention. Why, then, the shock here?就这次灾难而言，这次灾难和其他灾难一样很严重，但并不特殊，当然也绝对不在美国有记载的伤亡人数最多的空难之列。

II. The Air Crash
On Jan. 13, 1982 one of the worst snowstorms in the history of Washington, D.C. hit the city. Just about everything closed down—the government, businesses, schools, the airports. By about noon, the skies cleared and Washington’s National Airport reopened for business. The crew of Air Florida Flight 90 began preparing for a nonstop trip to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At 3:59 p.m., the twin-engine Boeing 737 was cleared for takeoff and began rumbling down the runway on its final flight.
