Bridge Over Troubled Waters (or Lack Thereof)
So, you want to know how many workers were on the Baltimore bridge when it decided to take a swan dive into the Patapsco River? Well, buckle up, because this is a tale as dramatic as a soap opera, but with less crying and more heavy machinery.

| How Many Workers Were On The Baltimore Bridge When It Collapsed |
A Bridge Too Far?
Let's get one thing straight: nobody planned this little aquatic excursion. The bridge was supposed to be, you know, standing up. Not doing a belly flop. The engineers probably thought they'd designed a masterpiece, but apparently, they forgot to factor in the wrath of the shipping gods.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Who Were These Brave Souls?
Now, onto the burning question: how many workers were on this ill-fated structure? Let's just say it was a cozy little crew. Not exactly a bustling metropolis up there. They were probably having a casual morning, maybe discussing the merits of donuts versus bagels, when suddenly, SPLASH! Their morning coffee took on a whole new meaning.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
The Aftermath
The aftermath was, let's say, chaotic. Rescue teams were out in full force, probably muttering things like "This is why we get the big bucks." There were helicopters, boats, and probably a guy with a really good throw. It was a full-on aquatic adventure, but without the inflatable unicorns.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.

The Real Question
But let's be honest, the real question here is: how did the ship manage to miss the bridge for that long? I mean, it's not exactly a stealth bomber. Maybe the captain was having a really bad day and decided to take out his frustrations on some unsuspecting infrastructure.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
To sum it up: We had a bridge, we had workers, we had a ship, and we had a very, very wet day. The exact number of workers? Let's just say it wasn't a crowd.
How To...
- How to become a bridge: This is a tricky one, and we don't recommend it. Requires a lot of concrete and steel, and a questionable relationship with gravity.
- How to avoid being on a collapsing bridge: Easy, just don't be on a bridge when it's collapsing. Proactive, right?
- How to build a bridge that won't collapse: Hire engineers who actually know what they're doing. And maybe avoid placing it near giant ships.
- How to become a rescue hero: Own a boat, have a strong arm, and be prepared to get wet. Bonus points for a heroic catchphrase.
- How to prevent ship-induced bridge collapses: Invest in better ship captains. Or maybe just give the bridges super strength.
