I really don't think it's that bad. I'd just leave it the way it is.

Better yet, build jump ramps so everyone can reenact that scene from "Speed"

Definitely the same area...not sure if its the exact same one. Thats if youre refering to what happened during the 89 quake.

the portions of the bridge that collapsed was on the SF side and mid span.

the section that burned and collapsed is actually newly built (compared to the bridge)

Someone send this to Rosie O'Donnell. I bet she thinks the government bombed the bridge too.

in any case, that is quite a fire to melt part of the freeway

The Cypress in Oakland also fell over in 89.
