This is FAR worse. On the Bay Bridge it was one 20’ section that fell. One side let loose and the other stayed put. This is an entire bridge. . .God help the victims and rescue workers.
The bigger catastrophe in that earthquake was the collapse of the elevated section of the Nimitz Freeway -- where one roadway ran on top of the elevated section over another one.
Forgive if this is a stupid question, are there people in the River? I am thinking of the Air Florida crash in DC in the early 80s.
