I wonder if anyone was walking across it when it went down?
That must have been shocking.

I’ll take the over/under on the under being worse than the over.
So I'm guessing no one was on the bridge, unless there were construction workers on it. But I can't find any mention of anyone on the bridge.
First thing that occurred to me was to wonder if the designers were aware that the highest load that you can put on any bridge is wall to wall people. since people never got to use it, it's a moot point. But if...
The Golden Gate Bridge 50th Anniversary with wall to wall people its entire length (300,000+ people) Is a classic example of the massive weight.
There is an iconic color photo that appeared at the time which I think might be on a poster too, but I have never be able find one to buy a copy. The bridge looks flat between the towers from the weight.
I can't help wondering if there was pressure at work from wherever to prevent public distribution of that image.
