Was unnerving when I realized I had to write this sentence in the past tense:

The FSK Bridge. A symbol of our town. Gone.

I’m curious about the person who after being rescued from the water after the bridge collapse was like, “nah dog, im cool” and went home. Someone should interview that person.

It’s hard to overstate how much of a disaster the Key Bridge collapsing is for the City of Baltimore.
The Key Bridge carried an estimated 11.5 million vehicles annually. That’s an average of 31,507 a day.
Everyone is now going to be funneled into the tunnels or through the city
