that's why I prefer the Dumbarton

10-27) 21:12 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Three pieces of an emergency repair to the Bay Bridge's cantilever section made over Labor Day weekend snapped and crashed onto the upper deck of the span late Tuesday afternoon, striking three vehicles and forcing the indefinite closure of the region's busiest bridge.

Caltrans officials ordered the closure of the bridge in both directions shortly after 7 p.m. and said late Tuesday night that it would be closed indefinitely.

This is really freaky. I cannot imagine being hit by a falling bridge cable.
