Hi all,
I woke up this morning to see some transportation news: the Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed because a barge struck the bridge.
I remember every time I drove by Baltimore, I would always see the Key Bridge. It was huge and I could feel how important this bridge was. I've been on the bridge in 2004, and I know that I'll never get to go on the Key Bridge that once was ever again.
Horrific scene for those injured and possible killed, condolences to all. It is a lot to imagine the terror of such a giant bridge crashing down.
And this has consequences for Baltimore: massive traffic jams on the tunnels, and HAZMATs have a massive detour to take. And the harbor will be closed for some time. This is a major harbor, second largest in the Northeast.
Condolences to those injured and potentially killed. What a loss, for the families and friends of those killed or injured, and for the city of Baltimore.
UPDATE: 2 confirmed fatalities, 4 presumed from the bridge collapse. Condolences to all.
UPDATE: I found out that I have been on the Key Bridge in 2004.
