SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. — Less than a month from the 40th anniversary of the Tampa Bay Skyway Bridge disaster, a documentary about the tragedy is available for home viewing via Vimeo for $4.99. It will also soon be available on Amazon for the same price.
The documentary, “The Skyway Bridge Disaster,” which premiered a year ago at the Tampa Theatre, recounts the real-life story of a massive cargo ship colliding with the bridge on the stormy morning of May 9, 1980, killing 35 people, and also tells the gripping courtroom drama that followed.
“The Skyway Bridge Disaster” was produced by Tampa trial attorney Steve Yerrid, who successfully represented the Summit Venture’s harbor pilot, Captain John Lerro, and businessman Frankie VanDeBoe.
With so many of us staying home to help halt the spread of COVID-19, now might be the perfect time to check out this documentary.
