Plane Flies Through Fourth of July Fireworks (Or So It Would Appear)

The view of fireworks over the National Mall from Long Bridge Park.

Talk about a great seat for the Fourth of July fireworks.

With thousands of people gathered in Long Bridge Park in Crystal City to celebrate the holiday and get a largely hassle-free view of the fireworks over the National Mall, a plane landing at Reagan National Airport nosed in on the show.

Long Bridge was packed with people, many of them day-long picnickers who stayed till sundown for the big show.
