[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgive me if this was already asked, but how do cargo ships typically pass through/by the bridge? Do they usually go under, and this ship hit the pylon instead? I do not think there is a drawbridge. That ship seemed piled high with cargo. It doesn't look like it would have fit going under the bridge.[/quote]
The bridge used to be taller.

For safety it should be two or three times taller than the tallest ship. I read about bridges once in school. /s[/quote]

People are already scared to cross the Bay Bridge in their cars.[/quote]

Do they still have state troopers who will drive your car across for you? I don’t think that’s a myth, although I don’t know anyone who’s actually done this.  [/quote]

It’s not a myth, but they stopped the service several years ago.  There are private people who will do it though.  
I drive over the bay bridge a lot.  Going east bound is fine.  It’s the west bound span with the stupid slats so you can see the water that really freaks me out.[/quote]
