I worked on building that bridge for three years. I was a field engineer on it and I know the structure well. I can not imagine how they would bring it down. Also, the Mackinac Bridge Authority is no doubt guarding it closely night and day and these jerks would never get close to it.

One would hope, but I often fear that PC has us afraid to ask questions or stop people when we should. Even when someone gets killed, like the Jewish woman here in Seattle, the libs are busy blaming the mental health system or whatever, instead of saying that it was a terrorist attack.

So you worked on the Mackinac, did you? You never cease to amaze me with your work history!

I saw an episode on History Channel about this bridge. It was an amazing engineering feat considering the harsh winters.

I've been fascinated with this bridge since seeing a documetary about its construction several years ago. And it looks as though I may finally get my chance to go across it after living in Michigan for 21 years. My son has to be at school in St. Paul in a few weeks which happens to coincide with our being in Gaylord. No sense in going down and around, better to go up and across the UP.

Being an engineer on this beautiful bridge must have been an amazing experience.

Can you tell me if the main cables are coated near the cable? Doesn't the two main cables have a thick protective metal cover after they join together?
