you driven across the skyway bridge? holy sh*t

 

all the years i've lived here, i just crossed the skyway the first time about 6 months ago. and havent crossed it since. i've been scared of bridges since the skyway accident back in 80.

 

What happened in 81?

 

Oh, I looked it up.

The original skyway bridge is nothing compared to the newer one though. I don't think it would collapse if a freighter hit it.

" The new bridge's main span is 50% wider than the old bridge. The piers of the main span and the approaches for 1/4 mile (0.4 km) in either direction are surrounded by large concrete barriers called "dolphins" that can protect the bridge piers from collisions with freighters larger than the Summit Venture."
