How Tall Was That Bridge, Anyway?
Let’s talk about bridges. Not just any bridge, mind you. We’re talking about the Baltimore bridge. Now, I know what you’re thinking, "Dude, there are like a million bridges in Baltimore. Which one are we talking about?" Well, let's narrow it down. We're chatting about the Francis Scott Key Bridge. You know, the one that's so tall, it probably thinks it's a skyscraper with a serious inferiority complex.

A Bridge and Its Issues
This bridge, folks, is no slouch. It’s 185 feet tall. That’s like stacking almost six, six-story buildings on top of each other! Imagine the view from up there! You could probably spot a Sasquatch if there were any lurking around Baltimore. But let’s be real, the chances of that happening are about as likely as finding a unicorn riding a narwhal.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Now, you might be wondering, "Why is this bridge so tall?" Well, the Patapsco River, which the bridge gracefully spans, is a pretty big deal. It’s not exactly a puddle. So, to accommodate the river’s ego (and the boats that sail on it), they had to give the bridge a serious height advantage. It’s like the bridge is the class president, and the river is the annoying little brother who always tries to one-up it.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
A Bridge That Caused a Stir
Unfortunately, our tall friend had a bit of a meltdown recently. A ship, named Dali (probably because it had a surreal sense of direction), decided to pay the bridge an unexpected visit. Let’s just say the meeting didn't go well. The bridge, being the dramatic diva it is, decided to throw a tantrum and collapse. Talk about a bridge-burning experience!

But fear not, Baltimore! The city is already planning to rebuild the bridge. Let's hope the new one is less of a drama queen and more of a chill, laid-back kind of bridge. Maybe it can take up yoga or something.

How to Bridge the Gap (of Knowledge)
- How to avoid being a bridge troll: Just don’t be mean to people online. It’s really that simple.
- How to appreciate a bridge: Take a moment to admire its engineering marvel. It’s like looking at a giant puzzle that actually works.
- How to not be a ship captain: If you can’t tell the difference between a bridge and a giant floating obstacle, maybe reconsider your career choice.
- How to become a bridge enthusiast: Start by watching a lot of construction documentaries. And maybe take up knitting.
- How to build a bridge (of friendship): Just be kind, listen, and share a good laugh.
So, there you have it. The Baltimore bridge, in all its tall, dramatic glory. Let’s hope the new one is a bit more grounded. Or at least, not quite as prone to tantrums.
