The first thing that came to mind when I saw the bridge accident was the Coronado Bridge. The San Diego Naval station is behind the Coronado bridge. Meaning all you have to do is blow the bridge to trap the US fleet in the harbor. Except they designed the bridge parts to float so that if it ever did go down they could be brushed aside with a tugboat. That always struck me as a smart and interesting innovation.
Enough about bridges. IT"S OPENING DAY!!!!!!!!!!! I epect to be fully engrossed for at least 2 weeks until my White Sox are mathematically eliminated. Nobody expects much of them but I am always hopeful and optomistic. Have a couple of very long shot tickets on them because if they do somehow win I need to be paid
