All they need to take the bridge down is to sever the 2 end ties on the cables.

The main cables on the bridge are 24.5 inches in diameter. Have you ever looked at the cable anchors on a large suspension bridge?

Only the SF Bay bridge.

They did do work on the GG bridge, though (my family lives in SF and I visit often), so I think there was probably some vulnerability. I know there were several apprehensions of Muslims taking pictures of parts of the bridge from boats, from the toll plaza, and also from Fort Point underneath.
