at the time of the Loma Prieta quake I worked for a college newspaper and I went down there. Didnt think I'd get in..but they let me climb all over the now flattened Cyprus super structure. My favorite picture was taken from a cherry picker (some guy held my legs while I laid over the edge) of a truck ..perfect with a flattened truck behind it and a very smashed car in front...with the writing in orange spray paint..in cursive Lucky A-13.
After taking those pictures ..I think that the best way from keeping a freeway from pancaking is not reenforce the rebar and not have the pieces not even joining inside the cement!!
