    Nice! They need to spend less money/time on simulation and more on building stuff.

    I love how they always use scare tactics to get people freaked out. Yes, there is a chance that this could happen, but i totally agree with Vincent, how much money did that take to produce? I guess people need to be motivated some how, but is this the best way?

    Oh please. The video cost how much – 10K, 50k, 100k? And that’s enough to rebuild the bridge? You complain when public agencies don’t do enough public outreach, you complain when they spend money to do it.

    I tend to agree with you. It may take a crippling earthquake — and lots of dead commuters — before we see real action.
