    Nope, it hit at 1:30AM and caused immediate collapse. The video I posted above is from a live stream that shows it.

    Sure glad I wasn't on it. The wife told me about it, and I said..hmm..I've been on that bridge...sure hope no one was driving across when it went. :(

    6 construction workers filling potholes unaccounted for. Authorities closed the bridge immediately when the ship made the distress call and announced it lost power...... Unfortunately not long after the tugs cutaway

    They expect that Texans will all stop and stare up at the phenonium like turkeys drowning in the rain.

    That morning I got on 95 on my way to work thinking it would just be another day, until I saw an overhead warning sign say “Key Bridge closed”.

    I took a detour, thinking it was probably an accident again thanks be the usual suspects being the Amazon clan. I got the to the terminal, fired the truck up, turned on the CB and heard the radio about the bridge being gone.

    If it happened about 3 hours later I could’ve been one of the casualties.
