You have to wonder if any of those high rise apartment buildings have been compromised - that was one huge impact.
I have bridge-phobia especially any span over water! This is not helpful.

I don’t like heights. I drove the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor a while back.
Not fun....

Ever gone over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge outside Annapolis Maryland? It’s almost 4 miles long! Not fun for many folks with phobias.

"I have bridge-phobia especially any span over water! This is not helpful."You do realize that out of the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of bridges in this country that only a handful have ever failed like this?
You should be more afraid of getting struck by lightning. I'm not making fun of you, I'm just saying look at the odds.

I have bridge-phobia especially any span over water! This is not helpful. I'm with you Sod! Can't stand bridges....especially over water. I white knuckle the steering wheel all the way across.

I have bridge-phobia especially any span over water! This is not helpful.To an extent... so do I. Just observing an old stretch of the Florida Keys, 7-Mile Bridge gives me the creeps. It's a section, still standing, that shoots skyward to the east.

You’re not the only one who has trouble with bridges. I remember going over an open grate bridge over the Genesee River when I first learned to drive. It was terrifying and I can still hear the rumble of the tires on the metal grate.
