Bridge Over Troubled Waters (and Cars)
So, you wanna know how many cars took a plunge off the Baltimore Bridge? Well, buckle up, because this story is as dramatic as a cat chasing a laser pointer.
How Many Vehicles Went Off The Baltimore Bridge |
The Great Bridge Dive
Let's rewind a bit. It was a dark and stormy night (okay, not really, but it adds drama). Suddenly, BAM! A ship, probably having a midlife crisis, decided to give the Baltimore Bridge a friendly little tap. And by "friendly," I mean "catastrophic." Next thing you know, cars were doing their best impression of Olympic divers, gracefully (or not so gracefully) plunging into the chilly waters below.

Counting Cars: A Numbers Game
Now, you'd think counting the number of cars that took a swim would be easy, right? Just grab a snorkel, dive in, and tally up the license plates. But alas, real life isn't a Pixar movie. The authorities were more concerned with rescuing people than playing underwater carpark attendant. So, the exact number of vehicles that went for an unexpected dip remains a bit of a mystery.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Rumors, Lies, and Statistics
The internet, as usual, had a field day with this. Numbers were flying around like confetti at a New Year's Eve party. Some said seven cars, others claimed dozens. Personally, I'm sticking with the "more than you'd like to imagine" theory. After all, who wants to be that guy who underestimates the number of cars that took a swim?
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Important note: While it's fun to speculate, let's remember the real victims here: the people who were in those cars. It was a terrifying ordeal, and our thoughts are with them.
