The Great Car Wash of 2024
Let's get one thing straight: nobody wanted to wash their car that day. But fate, or a particularly clumsy cargo ship, had other plans. When the Francis Scott Key Bridge decided to take a swan dive into the river, it took a whole bunch of unsuspecting cars along for the ride.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
It's like that one friend who always ruins the party by accidentally spilling their drink. Except in this case, the party was a bridge, the drink was a ship, and the spill was... well, catastrophic.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
Counting Cars: A Numbers Game
Okay, so you want numbers, right? Well, we don't have an exact count just yet. It's like trying to count the grains of sand on a beach while being chased by a particularly enthusiastic seagull. But we do know it was a bunch.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.

- At least seven cars took an unexpected dip. That's like a small, underwater carpool.
- Hundreds of cars were probably involved in the traffic jam that ensued. That's like a really, really big carpool.
So, while we can't give you a precise figure, let's just say it was enough to make a car insurance agent weep.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
The Aftermath: More Drama Than a Reality TV Show
The aftermath of this watery debacle has been nothing short of dramatic. There were rescue efforts, investigations, and probably a few very angry drivers. It's like a real-life action movie, except with fewer explosions and more paperwork.
And let's not forget about the poor fish. Imagine their surprise when a bunch of cars came crashing down on their underwater party.
How to...
- How to avoid being a car-aquatic: Don't drive on bridges that look like they're about to become submarines.
- How to become a marine biologist (quickly): Buy a snorkel and jump into the Patapsco River. You'll have plenty of new underwater friends.
- How to become a traffic reporter: Just wait for another bridge to collapse. You'll have plenty of material.
- How to build a bridge that won't collapse: Hire a really good engineer. And maybe avoid putting it next to a busy shipping lane.
- How to feel sorry for cars: Remember, they didn't choose this life.
