The in-depth story of the Sunshine SkyWay Bridge Disaster on May 9, 1980.
A fog falls on Tampa Bay and the busy sea lane leading from the Gulf of Mexico to the Port of Tampa Bay. Captain John Lerro, at the helm of the Summit Venture carrier ship, knows he has to be very careful in maneuvering through the bay when the weather is terrible. En route toward the port, he has to pass underneath the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. There’s another vessel coming from the opposite direction, making him extra cautious. Then, out of nowhere, a gust hits the bay. Lerro can barely see anything in front of him, and his radar goes wild. It’s best he stops the ship. Easier said than done, however, as the wind swings his vessel like a toy. Then, he hits it - one of the Skyway Bridge pillars. From the pilothouse, John Lerro can only watch as the bridge collapses into the water. A tragedy is on the way.
