ADHD: Ha ha ha ha ha! Good luck with that.

I've been thinking of the people who stopped traffic on the Key Bridge. They only had a Mayday from the ship, reporting a power problem. They had no reason to assume that the ship would bring the bridge down. People are normally reluctant to shut down highways. But they did.
They are heroes.
