The Big Splash
Let's get this straight: bridges aren't supposed to do that. I mean, I get it, midlife crisis and all, but crashing into a river? That's just taking things a bit too far. Anyway, when the Francis Scott Key Bridge decided to pull a dramatic exit, it took a few unfortunate souls with it.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
The Body Count
Now, you're probably wondering, "How many people actually bit the dust?" Well, let's just say the number isn't exactly something to cheer about. Six brave souls lost their lives in that watery grave. That's right, six. Not six hundred, not sixty, just a plain old six. It's a tragic number, and it's a reminder that life is incredibly fragile, especially when you're standing on a bridge that's about to become a submarine.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
The Aftermath
The aftermath was a whirlwind of rescue efforts, investigations, and probably a lot of very awkward conversations with insurance companies. Divers were called in to play underwater detectives, trying to piece together what happened and recover any remains. It was like a real-life episode of CSI, but with less fancy equipment and more dead fish.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.

Moving Forward
The bridge collapse was a stark reminder that even the most solid structures can crumble. It's also a reminder that life is precious and should be cherished. So, let's take a moment to honor those who lost their lives and hope that lessons learned from this tragedy will prevent similar disasters in the future.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Remember: Bridges are for crossing, not for diving. Unless you're a particularly talented bridge-jumping squirrel, in which case, more power to you.
