Baltimore
There it was, on the news.
A cargo ship hit the base of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and the entire bridge collapsed.
Scary.
One minute you’re riding over the bridge, admiring the view of the harbor at night. The next you’re tumbling through the darkness into the frigid water below. The stuff that nightmares are made of.
I’ve visited Baltimore several times, most recently in August 2021. Drew and I spent a week vacationing in Maryland, and much of that time we explored Baltimore. We visited the harbor area several times — the aquarium is wonderful. I’m not sure if we drove across Key Bridge, there are several ways to cross the harbor, but I know we saw it …
i just read about that! Incredible that can happen these days when measurements are known. Someone has some explaining to do with that cargo ship.

DeleteOh, I just saw it hit a support.
That is one of my major phobias about driving across bridges. Very scary.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Baltimore once before. Didn't visit the aquarium (we were on a budget and $$$) but my then young son loved the science museum. We must have gone over that bridge. My son must have, too, when he took a cruise out of Baltimore in late November of last year. Yes, it's scary.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of driving over bridges.
ReplyDeleteI saw that, all over social media. Frightening, and sad.
