1. In 1997, my brother-in-law jumped from the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.

For years after, I avoided that bridge as much as I could. Even when I was working in the area, doing third-party food safety audits.

But I have gone over the bridge many times before and after, and from what the police told us at the time, I know exactly what lane and where he stopped his car to jump over the barrier.

I'm sure you already understand the effect on my wife and children, as well as his elderly Mom who died just two months later.
