Golden Gate Bridge — Walking the Span

Golden Gate, San Francisco

A Preview

"You're on the bridge. You're walking on it. Take a second and feel the deck move under your feet, because it is moving — the roadway can swing up to twenty-seven feet side to side in high winds. That's not a defect. That's the design. A bridge that doesn't flex breaks. The cables holding you up right now contain eighty thousand miles of wire. That's enough to wrap around the Earth three times."
