Sunshine Skyway Bridge – Florida, USA

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is an integral part of Florida’s history. The original bridge went up in 1954 and it witnessed two historical tragedies. In May 1980, the MV Summit Venture oil tanker collision claimed the lives of 35 people. Earlier in the year, Blackthorn, a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter, collided with a tank called Capricorn in proximity to the bridge. The destruction came with a hefty bill but being one of the city’s traditional symbols, a money dispute never came out of the decision to fix it. The year 2018 started the Skywalk 10K event, seeing 10,000 pedestrians cross over the bridge and authorities agreed to make it an annual tradition.
