Description
On the morning of May 9, 1980, during sudden violent weather, a 600-foot freighter struck a support pier of the fifteen-mile Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
The main span splintered and collapsed 150 feet into Tampa Bay.
Seven cars and a Greyhound bus fell over the broken edge and into the churning water below.
Thirty-five people died. Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event.
Through personal interviews and extensive research, Bill DeYoung pieces together the harrowing moments of the collision, including the first-person accounts of witnesses and survivors.
The result is a gripping retelling of the worst ship-bridge collision in U.S. history.
