So, you wanna know how many people kicked the bucket when that bridge in Baltimore decided to take a swan dive into the drink? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this story is a rollercoaster of emotions (mostly horror).

And let me tell you, that bridge didn't stand a chance. It was like a scene from a disaster movie, minus the popcorn and overpriced soda.
