On March 26, a catastrophic event unfolded as a ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing its collapse. Larry DeSantis, who was driving to his second job at Herman’s Bakery, narrowly escaped the tragedy, believing he was one of the last to cross the bridge before the collision.
DeSantis recounted his drive, focusing on the workers on the bridge and unaware of the impending disaster. Only a lack of vehicles hinted at the impending danger. Moments after he crossed, the bridge was struck, sending vehicles and workers into the Patapsco River.
