A Bridge Too Far
Let's rewind a bit. It was a dark and stormy night (okay, not really, but it sounds dramatic). The Francis Scott Key Bridge, this majestic steel behemoth over the Patapsco River, decided to have a little "oops" moment. A ship, minding its own business, decided to play bumper cars with the bridge, and bam, a chunk of it went for a swim. And with it, eight brave souls who were working on the bridge at the time.

Heroes in the Night
Now, here's where the real drama unfolds. Amidst the chaos, two of these guys managed to Houdini their way out of the watery grave. Talk about luck! Or maybe it was sheer determination. Or perhaps they were just really good swimmers. Who knows? All we know is, they made it out alive, and that's what matters.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
But let's not forget the unsung heroes of this story: the rescue teams. These folks risked their own lives to save others. They're the real MVPs.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
The Aftermath
The rest of the story is, unfortunately, not as happy. As the search and rescue efforts continued, it became clear that the odds weren't in everyone's favor. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of life and the dangers that lurk in even the most ordinary of places.

How to...
Now, I know you're probably wondering about some practical stuff. So, here are some FAQs:
- How to avoid being on a collapsing bridge? Easy, don't work on a bridge at night. Or ever, if you can help it.
- How to become a rescue hero? Join the fire department or coast guard. Or, you know, just be there when someone needs help.
- How to build a bridge that won't collapse? Consult an engineer. Or, you know, just don't build a bridge.
- How to deal with the emotional trauma of witnessing a bridge collapse? Seek professional help. Or, watch funny cat videos.
- How to make a joke about a bridge collapse? Carefully. And probably not.
So, there you have it. A dramatic tale of survival, loss, and the enduring human spirit. Let's hope we never have to write about another bridge collapse again.
