Sunshine Skyway Bridge - St Petersburg, FL

Aerial of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, shot by Tampa Photographer celebrationsoftampabay.com/. The Skyway Bridge connects St Petersburg and Pinellas County to Manatee County Florida. The bridge began construction in 1982, after the original bridge was destroyed on May 9th, 1980 at 7:33am when the freighter Summit Venture crashed into it. 35 people people as the Summit Venture knocked out a section of bridge. 6 cars and a Greyhound Bus, unaware the broken section of bridge due to the fog, plunged to the ocean. Amazingly one man survived the 150ft fall in his car. The new bridge bridge opened on April 20th, 1987. Parts of the old bridge are now used as the North Skyway and South Skyway fishing piers.

I would have liked to have seen the entire bridge instead of just one small section of it. But the videography was great.

It's an animation, the bridge was never built.

[@EmpressQueenB]

Was thinking the same

[@michaelrowee868]

It's about time to build a new one that bridge is almost a hundred years old it wasn't safe when it was built and it sure the f*** isn't safe now and needs to be tore down and rebuild the old bridge

[@TampaAerialMedia]

You must be referring to another bridge, because this bridge was built in 1987 and is one of the safest bridges there it.
