Uhh, because people are on the bridges.

[AppyPappy]

Why didn't you post this on one of the bridge threads?

If it's the Coronado Bay Bridge, that bridge is designed to be recoverable from bombing real quickly as otherwise it would affect fleet deployment. It could provide a few hundred military people as targets, however, returning home from work. More likely, I would think, in the San Diego possibility, is the 805 & 8 Interstate overpass - that would kill a lot of people during rush hour and really screw up commuting, business, shipping, etc.. If it was a dirty bomb that could screw up the entire area there for quite some time including the nearby stadium, malls and residential areas.

Depending on which bridges you blew up, you could cause major transportation disruptions throughout that local area. If, for example, the Golden Gate became impassable, how would people get across the bay? They'd have to take some pretty lengthy detours, and those detours would just be doubling or tripling traffic on other already-overloaded lanes.

UH, because not only are they to kill Americans, but they are also ordered to KILL AMERICAN'S WAY OF LIFE!

If I was Osama, infrastructure targets that kill a few people at the same time is what i would do. I really have not understood why they did not strike in the days weeks after WTC. Had they done the suicide bomber thing at a mall in middle America one day and a bridge on the west cost the next and a high school football game down south the next, I believe they could have brought America to her knees economically and mentally.

Because people will drive off of it. Don't you watch cartoons?

Bridges, smidges. You'd need a very large explosive, placed in just the right areas to take down the Golden Gate. A truck bomb ain't going to do it.

Don't be a fooled. Davis made this crap up, so he could get in on some facetime and put his sagging poll numbers up.

"The last I heard the terrorists were instructed to kill all of us Americans, how does a bridge fulfill that order from Binnie the thug?"

Think of all the Road Rage Killings that would occurr when Commuters are forced to take alternate routes to, and from work!!!!

On another thread "taliban complaining that U.S. bombing has weakened dams".

If one believes in hidden messages, then one would double the guards on our dams!

[Dengar01]

The last I heard the terrorists were instructed to kill all of us Americans, how does a bridge fulfill that order from Binnie the thug?

Governor Red Davis said they were going to bomb them during rush hour. During rush hour those bridges are bumper to bumper.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

First the skies, then the buildings, then the mails, then the transportation.....when we finally wake up hopefully it will not be too late for a few well placed tactical nukes.

Fox checked with the FBI and reported that the FBI does not deem the threats to be as credible as Davis is claiming.

If you format this in some fancy HTML, many here will not only read this, but will probably find a deeper hidden truth in your question :)

Watchout for cement trucks on Bridges

I was thinking about fuel trucks and attacks on the CA bridges, etc. It seems to me the best vehicle for a terrorist truck attack would be one of the those large cement mixers. You put the stuff in the barrel, mix it up. drive wherever you want. No one is looking for cement trucks. Just set it off when you get to the target. It would hold about as much as 50, 55 gallon drums and no tedious hand mixing.

SERIOUSLY, We've heard dirty nukes, bridges, poison malls, and all manner of warning. At this point, we have to consider the possibility that al-Queda is sending misinformation into the various pipelines.
