This series is addictive

They sure didn't waste much time coming around and putting steel collars around the concrete freeway bridge supports here in Southern California after Northridge. That earthquake only shook just about hard enough to wake people up around here but they still came around and reinforced the bridges once they had fixed the ones that fell closer to the earthquake.
Honestly, I thought the Landers Earthquake, that happened two years earlier, was much scarier but I was also a lot closer to that one and it's still the only earthquake that has knocked anything at all down where I've lived. Even then, it was just my lamp but that earthquake was also pretty long and kept seeming like it would stop but then getting stronger again. It's the only earthquake that truly scared me.

When did this bridge in New Zealand collapse? 10 or 20 years ago? No, back in '79 by the sounds of it. I suppose you have to get your contact from sometime!

Over the years I have driven over that bridge hundred of times without knowing it's history.
