About this episode

In May 1980, while travelling through thick fog, a freighter collided with one of the supports of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida. This accidental collision would mark the beginning of one of the worst bridge disasters ever to take place in the state... Fascinating Horror covers the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters. This podcast is an audio version of the YouTube channel of the same name.

In fact, it was arriving into Tampa Bay, not leaving.
