A jetliner flies high over a tranquil scene at the 14th Street bridge, where 30 years ago winter weather and human error conspired to bring down Air Florida Flight 90 in a disaster that claimed 78 lives. This image is a composite exposure created by taking several photos and combining them with computer software to transcend the visual limitations of standard photography.
