Sometimes a bridge collapses for glaringly obvious reasons â being whacked by a barge, for example. That's what knocked down Florida's Sunshine Skyway bridge in 1980, killing 35 people, and the I-40 bridge near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, in 2002, killing 14, and a causeway in Louisiana in 1964, killing 14.
As part of the Interstate system the Sunshine Skyway Bridge links Pinellas County to Manatee County. If ever we are traveling south we will go out of our way to include crossing the bridge on our commute. There's something about the approach to the bridge from the Pinellas side especially. All at once water and sunshine and palm trees and birds come into view with that salty flavor in the air that speaks of every thing having to do with the Gulf Coast. It's freedom. It's exhilerating. It's Florida!
