I grew up in dade city/ pasco co and remember 2 incidents regarding the sunshine skyway being hit by large ship or barge. However, i was a teenager at the time and only remember that is was a tragedy leaving many injury and dead. I’m not sure that greater detail would make it any more real than it already is to me.
Correction : I wasn’t as old as I thought. I just forgot the dates were earlier than I remembered.
The Blackthorn tragedy 1980 - I was 9 yrs and had lost my grandfather that year.
The Summit Venture disaster 1971 - was not even a year old so I must have remembered it from the new coverage in 1980.
