The Baltimore Bridge Tumble: A Not-So-Funny Bridge Joke (But Here's How Many Fell Victim)
Let's face it, folks, bridges aren't exactly known for their stand-up routines. They're more in the stoic infrastructure lane, holding our cars and dreams (and commutes) aloft. But then there was the great Baltimore Bridge incident of 2024, which wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs.

| How Many Lives Were Lost In The Baltimore Bridge Accident |
A Bridge, a Boat, and a Big Oopsie
The story goes something like this: The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a sturdy fellow by all accounts, was minding its own business over the Patapsco River when WHAM! A rogue cargo ship named "Dali" (surreal, right?) smacked into a support column, sending the bridge to a watery "hello down there."
Now, this little mishap caused a bit of a kerfuffle. Six brave construction workers who were patching potholes (because, you know, even bridges need a little TLC) ended up taking an unintended swim. Sadly, they didn't resurface.
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
So, the big question remains: How many lives were lost? The answer is a somber six.
Not the Most Graceful Exit
Look, accidents happen. But a bridge collapse? That's some next-level misfortune. The good news? (Yes, there's some) Two construction workers managed to dodge the watery plunge and were rescued.
Tip: Review key points when done.
The bad news? The poor Dali is probably grounded for a loooong time. Also, the Baltimore port went into a bit of a tizzy since, well, a giant bridge tends to be important for, you know, getting ships in and out.
But hey, at least we can all learn a valuable lesson from this whole ordeal: Never trust a rogue cargo ship with a penchant for surrealist art movements.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
