Description

I am calling this photo "Fortified Defiance" as a tribute to the 35 people that lost there lives on May 9, 1980, as a ship called the Summit Venture tapped one of the main support for one of the twin spans of the bridge, bringing it all down at the mouth of Tampa bay. This new bridge is fortified to prevent this from happing ever again. There are reinforce islands around the main supports and reinforced bumpers that guard it all from disaster. Yes the new bridge is beautiful, but it also stands in "Fortified Defiance" against disaster!!!!
