"VukFest" and the Francis Scott Key Bridge

[Scabbydoo]

For those in attendance at the biggest VukFest when Mega-Glide, 8-Ball and Gray rider showed up along with Doofs from all over, you might remember the ride to the MD 43 'Shrine'. We crossed the Francis Scott Key Bridge on the way there.

I have crossed that bridge many times both in a cage and on my scoot. Especially when we had our boat down on the Chesapeake. The news today of its collapse was a bit of a punch to the gut.

I'll bet it was. I guess they didn't feel the need for any kind of buffer / bumpers pilings or concrete barriers around the main towers bases in the water.

A tragedy for sure. Give thanks it wasn't during rush hour.

I'm sure it will be rebuild with this event in mind.

Very Tragic. A Tugboat or two might have been good don't ya think.

Took my sailboat under the bridge on the trip to the Baltimore Inner Harbor, from our marina on Kent Island. Had to 'heave to' and hold my position and wait for one of those monsters on their way out to come through the bridge passage before I could continue into the Inner harbor.
