Man Earns Ultimate Revenge
Once, he was in an accident so awful, it crushed his hip. Monday night, he detonates the charges that will bring the bridge down. Dan Ruefly was the lucky winner of the contest to blow up the old span of the Wilson Bridge, and his essay was chosen from 312 entries:

Ouch. Yeah, that’s way better than my story of being stuck on the bridge twice in one day back in 2002. The bridge comes down at midnight on Monday.

Hm, we should discuss this on Friday. I really want to see that bitch burn.
