15. Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Florida

The name of this Tampa Bay bridge is as deceptive as a dolphin's smile. The structure has witnessed multiple tragedies over the decades. In 1980, a freighter collided with a column during a storm, and the bridge collapsed, killing 35 people. Before and after the collapse, more than 200 people killed themselves by jumping off the skyway.
