Richard Hornbuckle’s car rests where it skidded to a stop 14 inches from the edge of the Sunshine Skyway bridge, struck by the freighter Summit Venture in St. Petersburg on May 9, 1980. The freighter rammed the southbound span of the bridge, collapsing a 1,200-foot length of the bridge and sending several cars and a Greyhound bus into the water. Thirty-five people died.


I hate driving over those big bridges. Worst one I can think of off the top of my head was in Charleston, SC. I don't remember the name of the bridge or what it goes over, but I didn't like driving that thing one little bit. Engineering marvels though!
