I was there! In a stroller, but still. My mom said it was the most claustrophobic thing she had ever experienced. I'm kinda glad I don't remember. Particularly being at crotch height or so.
I was there !!!! the thing you don't see in this pic is that the bridge deck was almost straight. afterward, the engineers said they were afraid the bridge would collapse. crazy
Every time I see anything about the Golden Gate Bridge the only thing I can think about is the absurd fact that it is never NOT being painted. After going from one side to the other they instantly start going back again to the other side. That's just insane to me. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speak for all Californians to say that keeping that perfect shade of orange is unnecessary. Keeping that iconic image is probably done so more for tourists than it is for anyone else even though San Fransisco doesn't need any gimics to attract tourism.
Actually this is more relevant to this sub than 95% of the shit on here. There is nothing especially horrific, but it's easy to image this shit going terribly in a thousand ways. Imo this is a solid post.
1987 in San Francisco the big health scare wasn't covid it was AIDS. It's hard to believe, looking back at those days, that hiv/ aids would now be managed like it is today. I think we have to think of covid like this. It will not go away but hopefully it won't kill so many people as we figure this thing out. Your right though, you wouldn't get a crowd like this today because of the fear of covid. Prayers to those affected by both!
Imagine dropping your wallet
Imagine being the engineer who designed it…I’d be sweatin’ bullets
Dropping it?? Someone is stealing it and disappear thru that crowd
Imagine dropping the bridge.
Idk why but I know it’s crazy but I always get morbid thoughts when I see large groups of people, like, all It would take is one Big nuke
one small nuke would do the trick
Interesting thought but a nuke would kill this many people in any major city
One zombie bite
I was there!
How long were you on the bridge for?
Cool! Was it scary, or just fun? Were you really all squished together like it looks in the pic?
Why?
Looks miserable
oddlymiserable
World war z vibes right there
Watched a documentary on it. Apparently it was close to collapsing because of all the people on it at once. They had to keep people moving.
Came here to say this!
If you look real hard in the top left hand corner you'll see Waldo with his hat and strips.
Wow people really didn’t have shit to do back then
Nope, something that was noticed and taken care of.
How boring, people going out and meeting face to face at 1 of the biggest street fairs ever. In 1987 I dreamed of staring at a piece of glass all day.
How many serial killers are in this one pic?
Those are all people? Geez what a pack of sardines. Worse than a concert.
Holy shit. How many people were killed in the crush?!
I wonder how many people were just there to jump off it?

Where’s Waldo: Final Level
An inspiring event during one moment in time.
thanks for the existential crisis bro
Groans
That’s like.. the entire city
You could probably walk on all their heads if you get on top of them
The engineer was sweating bullets.
One dude and his bag of chicken feet.. lol
Are those rocks?
why is the photo in black and white if it was 87? you would think for a significant moment like this they’d capture it in colour
Why would you want to celebrate a bridges anniversary?
Gotta be some covid in that crowd
Why does this have to be in black and white? Making me feel old
You are old
What happens when your in the middle of this and the urge to shit hits you like a freight train?
I was there !!!! the thing you don't see in this pic is that the bridge deck was almost straight. afterward, the engineers said they were afraid the bridge would collapse. crazy
Surprised it could take the load!
Are those people?

Maybe the paint helps to protect it from salty air?

From all the news I hear about San Fran and Hollywood, I don’t ever want to step in the city limits.
Yeah skip the paint, we should just let the steel bridge be exposed to salt water. What could possibly go wrong?
Chinese mfs when a new idea exists
Nope nope nope. Wayyyy to close
Too many people
As someone with sensory issues who is also immune compromised this is my fucking nightmare
“Let’s see how much this bridge can really hold”
I’ve driven on it with traffic zero worries. This however I wouldn’t do.
That’s not Covid safe
souls that aren’t ready for the taking. lucky them
Let’s celebrate the 50th anniversary of a bridge by trying to break it
one airstrike and I'll have enough of a killstreak to nuke every country on the planet
Thank god the Mothman wasn’t around.
Imagine an earthquake during this
No thanks
nope.
Dosent any one think about ‘what if hou need to piss or shit, or you got the runs’ your fucked 😂
Golden Gate Bridge: My back…cracks…my back

A bit harsh

Hell no!
Structural collapse in 5... 4… 3… 2… 1…

Eat a cock
