Cable on Bay Bridge snaps during evening rush hour

I don’t know why this isn’t bigger news when I feel it should be, but apparently during Tuesday’s evening rush hour commute, a cable on the Bay Bridge snapped and came crashing down onto several cars. As of this post, repair crews are still working on getting the cables adjusted so that cars can once again cross between San Francisco and Oakland.

Thanks to the Timbuk2 blog which posted this photo above of the cable lying on the deck of the bridge. Hopefully we won’t be seeing another bridge collapse like the one in Minneapolis in 2007.
