Does Pensacola seem to get it's share of negative national publicity? I mean, let's look back a mere 36 years. What has made national attention?
We've had: (Dates are approximate.)
1) 1978: CSX Derailment: 17th Ave. Overpass - No fatalities. (I was at the old FHP station at 17th & Gregory when this one occurred.)
2) 1978: National Airlines crash: Pensacola Bay - Three fatalities

4) 1979: Ted Bundy: Arrested by Officer David Lee on Cervantes St. (I actually met and spoke with Ted Bundy.)

6) 1994: Ladies Center Dr. John Britton and his escort James Barrett murdered.

I am sure I have missed something, so feel free to add to the list if you so desire.
