On August 1, 1983, according to the National Weather Service, the most intense microburst recorded at an airport was observed at Andrews Air Force Base, with the peak recorded gust above 130 miles per hour (and gusts may have reached above 150 miles per hour). The interesting part, for this board's sake, is that the peak gust was recorded at 2:11, seven minutes after Air Force One landed--on the same runway where the microburst occurred!!!
So, the PoD is: Air Force One encounters the microburst and crashes, killing all aboard, including President Reagan.
Effects, anyone?
