Wild but true story. 45 yrs ago, a drunk ship captain rammed the West Seattle bridge. I don't recall that anyone got killed & the bridge was horrible & needed replaced anyway. Even now there's unsanctioned sculptures dedicated to Rolf Neslund, the Patron Saint of the West Seattle bridge. Credible rumor that his first words after the crash were "You fucking idiots! I said rum & coke on the rocks! Not run the boat on the rocks!" Rolf & his wife were both in their 80's, hard core alcoholics. Couple years later, Ruth offed Rolf. Her bro helped.
