Bridge Over Troubled Water (or Lack Thereof)
So, you wanna know how many people are still missing from that whole Baltimore bridge fiasco, huh? Well, buckle up, because this story is about as clear as mud in the Patapsco River.

| How Many Are Still Missing From Baltimore Bridge |
A Bridge Too Far
Let's rewind a bit. There was this bridge, right? A fancy one called the Francis Scott Key Bridge. And then, bam, a big ol' ship decides it's a better sailor than a bridge and crashes into it. Cue the dramatic music and the ensuing chaos.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Now, you'd think counting people would be easy, right? Like, one, two, three... But when a bridge decides to take a swim, things get a bit complicated. There were people on the bridge, obviously, and some of them went for a not-so-planned dip.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
The Great Bridge Counting Conundrum
So, how many are still missing? Well, that's the million-dollar question, or rather, the million-dollar bridge-related question. At first, it was a whole bunch. Like, enough to make your head spin. But then, slowly but surely, they started finding people. Some alive, some, sadly, not.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.

But here's the kicker: there was this one guy, just one, who seemed to have vanished into thin air, or rather, thick water. They searched high and low, used fancy underwater robots, even consulted with the Loch Ness Monster (just kidding, but you get the idea). And finally, after what felt like forever, they found him. So, technically, as of now, no one is officially missing from the Baltimore bridge collapse.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
The Aftermath
The whole thing was a real rollercoaster of emotions, let me tell you. From panic to hope to relief and everything in between. And now? Well, now it's time to rebuild, both physically and emotionally. And hopefully, the next bridge will be a bit more resistant to ships with wanderlust.
How To... Bridge the Gap (of Information)
- How to avoid being on a collapsing bridge: Easy, don't be on a collapsing bridge. Seems obvious, but you'd be surprised.
- How to become a bridge expert: Well, besides years of engineering school, you could always start by not crashing a ship into one.
- How to stay calm during a bridge collapse: Practice deep breathing and remember, it's probably not personal.
- How to help bridge victims: Donate to local relief funds or volunteer your time to help with recovery efforts.
- How to build a bridge that won't collapse: Hire a really good engineer. And maybe avoid building it near a busy shipping lane.
