A Bridge Too Far?
Let's get this straight: bridges are supposed to be, like, the epitome of stability, right? I mean, they’re basically giant, concrete confidence boosters. So, when one decides to take a swan dive into the drink, it’s kind of a slap in the face to all bridge enthusiasts (me included, apparently).

Six Feet Under the Patapsco
Tragically, six construction workers lost their lives when the Francis Scott Key Bridge decided to do a dramatic exit. That's right, six people who were just trying to make a living, minding their own business, and then bam, they’re underwater. It’s enough to make you question your own mortality while crossing even the smallest puddle.
Tip: Review key points when done.
But let's not dwell on the sad stuff. I mean, we can't let these poor guys down by being all gloomy. They probably wouldn't want us to be crying over spilled concrete (or, you know, drowned workers).

The Bridge's Legacy
So, what have we learned from this whole ordeal? Well, for starters, bridges are apparently not as invincible as we thought. Also, construction workers are superheroes in disguise. And finally, Baltimore has a new, underwater sculpture garden (okay, maybe not that last one).
But seriously, this tragedy highlighted the importance of bridge maintenance and worker safety. So, while it's a somber topic, it's also a call to action. Maybe next time you're crossing a bridge, take a moment to appreciate the engineering marvel beneath your feet. Or, you know, just don't think about it too much.
Remember: Bridges are our friends. Treat them with respect.
How To... Bridge Your Curiosity
- How to avoid becoming a bridge statistic: Always wear a helmet, even when crossing a bridge. Just kidding. But seriously, construction workers are risking their lives for our convenience, so let's be grateful.

Let's hope this never happens again. But if it does, at least we'll have a good bridge joke ready.
