Bridge Over Troubled Waters (or Lack Thereof)
So, let's talk about bridges. Not the ones that connect places, but the ones that connect people (or, you know, the ones that used to connect people in Baltimore).

| How Many Are Missing From The Baltimore Bridge Collapse |
The Great Baltimore Bridge Caper
Remember that whole debacle where a bridge in Baltimore decided to take a swan dive into the river? Yeah, that was a real party pooper. Now, you might be wondering, "Hey, how many people actually went down with that sinking ship... or, you know, bridge?"
Well, let's just say it wasn't a full house. There were a few folks who took an unexpected swim, and sadly, not all of them made it back to dry land. It's like a real-life version of that old joke about the fish who said, "Man, I'm so glad I can't swim." Except, y'know, without the punchline.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Counting Heads (and Bodies)
Getting an accurate count of missing people after a bridge collapse is about as easy as herding cats while juggling chainsaws. But thanks to the tireless efforts of rescue teams, divers, and people who are really good at finding stuff underwater, we've managed to account for most of them.
It's like playing hide-and-seek, but with way higher stakes and a lot less fun. But hey, at least they found everyone eventually. So, that's something, right?
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
The Bridge from Somewhere to Nowhere
All jokes aside, this was a truly tragic event. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who lost their lives. It's a stark reminder that even the most solid structures can crumble, and that life is incredibly fragile. So, let's appreciate the bridges in our lives, whether they're made of concrete or human connection.
