Bridge Over Troubled Water (or River, in This Case)
So, let's talk about that whole Baltimore bridge collapse thing. You know, the one where a ship decided it was time to play demolition derby with a major bridge? Classic Tuesday morning, right?
A Bridge Too Far
I mean, I'm all for maritime adventures and whatnot, but ramming into a bridge? That's just taking things a bit too literally. It's like your GPS told you to "take a left" and you decided to interpret that as "drive through the building."
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Who's Counting?
Now, you're probably wondering about the casualty count. Let's be honest, the real question is: How many people were brave enough to be on a bridge at 1 AM on a Tuesday? Because, let's face it, those are the real heroes of this story.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
But, to answer your question, there were definitely some injuries. I mean, falling into a river is never fun, especially if you're wearing your favorite pair of jeans. Can you imagine the laundry nightmare?

The Aftermath
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
The good news is, rescue teams were on the scene quicker than you can say "Captain Obvious." And let's give a round of applause to the divers who had to go into that freezing water. Those folks deserve medals.
Of course, there's also the small matter of rebuilding the bridge. I'm guessing the insurance company is not having a good day. But hey, at least they'll have a cool story to tell at the next industry conference.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Moving Forward
So, while this whole incident was a major bummer, it’s also a reminder that even the sturdiest structures can be brought down by a rogue ship. Maybe we should start installing airbags on bridges? Just a thought.
