| How Much People Were On The Baltimore Bridge |
A Bridge Too Far?
Let’s start with the obvious: we don’t know the exact number. And to be honest, who does? The bridge, maybe? But it’s probably busy planning its next aquatic adventure. The authorities have thrown around some numbers, like a dartboard blindfolded. But remember, these are estimates, not a definitive headcount. It’s like trying to count the grains of sand on a beach while being chased by a particularly enthusiastic seagull.

The Great Bridge Census
Now, you might be thinking, “Hey, why don’t they just look at the traffic cameras?” Well, that’s a great question, detective. But traffic cameras are like those friends who always show up late to parties. They’re there, but when you really need them, they’re busy capturing footage of squirrels playing tag or a particularly dramatic cloud formation.

And let’s face it, who would have guessed that bridge selfies would become a thing? People were probably more focused on not plummeting into the river than documenting their commute. So, unless there’s a hidden camera crew filming a reality show called "Bridge Stars," we might never know the exact number.
Tip: Write down what you learned.

The Human Traffic Jam
But let's play detective for a moment. We can make some educated guesses. Baltimore is a city, right? Cities have people. People use bridges. Ergo, there were probably people on the bridge. Mind-blowing, I know.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
But seriously, considering the time of day, the day of the week, and the general traffic patterns, we can assume there were a decent amount of commuters, maybe some tourists, and possibly even a few brave souls attempting to walk across the bridge while juggling flaming torches.
The Bottom Line (or Riverbed)
So, while we might never know the exact number of people on the Baltimore bridge when it decided to go for a swim, we can be pretty sure it wasn’t a ghost town. And hey, at least the bridge got some fresh air and a new perspective. Maybe it's planning a career change as a marine biologist.
