I heard the Clinton Tour Bus couldn’t make it up and Hillary and Bill had to get out and start pushing. When you see that you know it’s a problem.

The Yugo that blew off of the Mackinac Bridge in a strong wind still has this topped as bridge stories go.
I think of it every time I cross the bridge in a 1 ton 4x4 truck.:)

Salt on a metal bridge = some genius at work if they do that.
