En route to evening mass that day, we heard over our local radio station 560am-KSFO. A VERY articulate South Asian Indian (obviously from his accent) describing at length and without hesitation to his speech on what had happened with the stress fractures of the San Francisco Bay Bridge.
He knew immediately what was OBVIOUS from the photo – the I-bars needed to be maintained well by oiling, much like chain links to a bicycle. He described further the type of material used for the bridge was nickel and it was very corrosive over time.
According to the host of the radio station at that time, the information is public!
In my small mind, this is a good time to test if people would change their driving behavior and switch from gas guzzling vehicles by buying more fuel efficient ones that are perhaps hybrids or even taking alternative modes of public transportation.
