How do you explain the other bridge failing in the 60’s killing 46 people? Those I beams come in a set of eight. If one fails they risk taking all of them At once. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE REPLACING THIS BRIDGE AND IT IS ALSO WHY THEY WATCH IT SO CLOSE.

Read up.
The Bay Bridge section collapse killed one person. The other 46 were on the 880 freeway in Oakland in the same 89 quake.It was a 2 level concrete elevated freeway where the upper deck pancaked onto the lower one.
