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'm with you Sod! Can't stand bridges....especially over water. I white knuckle the steering wheel all the way across.

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.
