    Ahh the Skyway Bridge. I wasn't aware that one even existed when I was making my way to St. Pete. I remember vividly approaching the bridge and telling myself "Let's do this!"
    Epic drive.

    I remember those days as a kid and adult traveling to the keys. 10 years ago I lived with my friend in Bradenton for the winter it is the first ext off the bridge. I loved the new bridge and the way they made fishing peir out of the old part of the bridge.

    As I'm watching this I'm trying to imagine it's 7am the morning of May 9, 1980, just prior to the bridge collapse, driving in a severe storm. I hope they shut that bridge down in case of severe storms.

      I had to drive on this bridge when I was 18 at night in the pouring rain. I was praying to God and freaking out. I have a huge fear of high bridges and then later read about the collapse of the older bridge. What happened was what I feared as a child because I was afraid a bridge would collapse and I would go in the water and had nightmares with this scenario.

    I am terrified of this bridge and in 97, back when I was stripping, I had to drive over it by myself, to and from work, 4 nights a week, I would get off work at 3am, it's scarier when noone else is on it, the money was good tho and there was no other way to get to that club!

  • @Sasfoot
    @Sasfoot Před rokem +2

    Why are all of these bridge crossing videos always made by people driving slower in the right lane? You had 18 wheelers in the left lane passing you. I also hate bridges and always try to drive as far inside as I can, especially on a single span. At least this one has a really wide shoulder over the whole length.

    I'll always admire the construction of a bridge of this scale, but my god it looks horrible to drive on. Not in terms of sketchiness or anything, but it's just so boring, like most of Floridas roads. If I had to do this on a daily commute I think I would last about a week before I start contemplating jumping off the edge.
