An 850-ton steel truss, the last section of the old Bay Bridge, was taken away for scrap. John Ramos reports on the final goodbye to a piece of Bay Area history. (3/28/17)
i can remember riding the Key streetcar that ran on the bottom deck of the old Bay Bridge with my Mom when i was very young. until the quake, i never thought i would see it torn down.
Yeah say goodbye to good American Steel and the Army Corps of Engineers. The best in the world. Now we use Chinese steel that not even Chile will use as the integrity is so poor. Do you think the new Bridge will last? Say a prayer before crossing.
yea u keep a old bridge which ain't made for a next massive earthquake which has tha risk of falling completely and have a even more traffic issue in a city like San Francisco and see how it would hold out
I hate the Whitebridge the metal Bridge is so much better white bridge sucks and it’s the worst and I will destroy it then replace it with the metal bridge
You will be missed old bay bridge

That’s a rare chance since the Key system isn’t used anymore. As some of the lines are used by Bart
goodbye old friend
Evidently, those steel truss bridges are just too rigid for a seismically active area like coastal California.
Why was the old bridge replaced and demolished in the first place?

A section of the bridge collapsed during the loma perieta quake and they decided the bridge needed to be replaced
@@treysf4154 why can they keep the old one
brings back old memories :/
all that is left to do is blow up the foundation and the new bridge will stand on its own.
Still think the old bridge was better.
@@eva.cassidy not in a earthquake environment
Yeah

LadyStonecut I wouldn't be surprised if the Liberals in People's Republic of California gave it to the Chinese for the cause.
