Well the Coronado Bridge if blown could cause some traffic problems, but won't be fatal as Coronado is a peninsula not an island and you can get there by driving around the Silver Strand. The bridge was built in 1969 and has five lanes. There is a large Naval Air Station there-NAS North Island and the Naval Amphibious Base on the strand near Coronado proper. (home of US NAVY Seals)and considerable number of people work at North Island, both military a civilians, so it could be a target. There is also a significant US Navy presence at the Naval Station in National City/San Diego. Several ships are berthed south of the bridge and should it fall it might cause problems getting a few ships out of the harbor until UDT could blow it out of the way (say a couple of hours practice)

FYI I have noticed a few more military jets flying in San Diego last couple of weeks than before and in areas they didn't fly before.

this looks like a view from naval Station to coronado, south of the bridge...http://www.tvnshack.com/galleries/Tarawa_0105191/pages/AUT_5404.htm

If the terrorcreeps target SD, they would be quite stupid. As we speak, US Navy Seals are in charge of providing security for the Fleet in SD. This is THEIR turf, I don't think the terrorcreeps would be able to pull anything off in the Seals backyard. It would be nice to see them try and then to see them getting bitch-slapped by a bunch of navy seals with ski-masks on there heads and machine-guns in there hands.
