How Many People Were Actually on the Baltimore Bridge? A Tale of Numbers and Nonsense

The Great Bridge Census
Let's start with the obvious: it's impossible to say exactly how many people were on the bridge at the exact moment of impact. Unless there was a particularly enthusiastic bridge census taker hanging out that night, we're pretty much in the realm of educated guesses.
Now, we know there were eight brave souls working on the bridge as part of a pothole-filling squad. These guys were the real MVPs, risking life and limb (and probably their favorite pair of work boots) to make the bridge a smoother place for the rest of us. Let's give them a round of applause!
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
But beyond our eight bridge heroes, the number of people on the bridge is a bit of a mystery. Was it a ghost town? Or was it packed like a sardine can? We'll probably never know for sure.
The Conspiracy Theories
Of course, where there's a mystery, there are conspiracy theories. Some say the bridge was actually overcrowded with alien tourists, and their spaceship mistook the bridge for a landing pad. Others claim it was a secret government experiment gone wrong, involving a giant, invisible trampoline.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the alien theory. I mean, who else would have the technology to make a bridge disappear like that? And let's face it, aliens have a pretty questionable track record when it comes to intergalactic road trips.

The Bottom Line
So, how many people were on the Baltimore bridge? The short answer is: we don't know. The long answer is: probably not as many as were on the bridge the day before, or the day after.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
But let's not dwell on the negatives. Let's focus on the positives. We learned that potholes are a serious business, that aliens might be terrible drivers, and that bridges, like humans, have their off days. And most importantly, we learned that eight brave souls were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
