A Bridge Too Far
Let's rewind a bit. It was a dark and stormy night (okay, maybe not that dramatic, but it was early morning) when a big ol' container ship decided to play bumper cars with the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The result? A whole lot of chaos, some very surprised fish, and a bridge that decided it had enough of this nonsense.
Carnage and Chaos
Now, about those cars. Estimates put the number somewhere in the ballpark of seven. Seven! That’s like a small family reunion gone terribly wrong. Imagine the scene: you're peacefully cruising along, minding your own business, and suddenly, you're taking an unexpected dip in the river. Not ideal, right?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
The Great Car Hunt
Rescue crews were on the scene in no time, but let’s be honest, finding a car in a river is like searching for a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is filled with water, mud, and probably a few disgruntled catfish. It was a massive undertaking, and while some cars were recovered, others remain lost to the depths.
A Lesson in Bridge Maintenance?
This whole ordeal has sparked a lot of conversations about bridge safety and maintenance. Let’s face it, bridges are kind of a big deal. They hold up our roads, our cities, and our hopes and dreams. So maybe it's time to give them a little more love and attention.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
Remember: Bridges are like our trusty old cars – they need regular check-ups and maintenance to keep them running smoothly.
