Maryland’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26, 2024, after it was hit by a container ship. The collapse left many people wary about America’s crumbling infrastructure.
“From now on every bridge I cross I’m going 100 mph” was posted on Facebook by Tiffany Nicole Jones on March 26, 2024, followed by many other similar posts. The thought is that if one has to be on a bridge, the trip should be made as quickly as possible.
