    I like watching videos on your channel. Unlike short videos on other channels, you can learn a lot of interesting nuances about the subject of the story. Thank you very much.

    Surprisingly , no mention of Bethlehem Steel , in Pennsylvania , the company that built most all of the pieces of the Golden Gate Bridge . At that time , there was no facility on the West Coast that could produce that much quality steel .

      Bethlehem steel in Pennsylvania must of marched it over as well cuz they didn’t use boats or trains from the west coast right

      @@joseluisfernandez613 You are either a troll or know nothing. Bethlehem Steel made their own documentary film, it clearly shows they used freight trains to bring the fabricated parts to the Philadelphia harbor. It was then loaded aboard Bethlehem cargo ships , shipped through the Panama Canal, and up to the San Francisco Bay, where it was unloaded and stored at Bethlehem Steel facilities in the S.F East Bay at Alameda.
      The steel assemblies were barged from Alameda to the bridge construction site as needed.

      Bc the documentary is about the bridge not the steel.

    This channel should do a video about Hanger One at Moffett Field. It’s almost done being re-clad after being stripped 10 years ago. It’s more stunning now than the day it was built. .

    The designers and engineers of the Golden Gate Bridge were fortunate that their design didn’t suffer the design flaw of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The winds must be in the same range for both of these locations but the design of the Tacoma Narrows focused on making the deck structure lighter, if I’m not mistaken, and the harmonics of the movement caused by the wind were at a frequency that was self exciting and self amplifying, the deck structure with tragic results.

    Unfortunately, the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District uses it as a cash cow by endlessly increasing the bridge tolls. People are fooling themselves into thinking that money is only being used to maintain the bridge.

    It being in Commiefornia is the reason I will not be visiting and taking in the history of this great nation. I have seen a good portion of my country. That being said there are several states l have no interest in seeing until they become safer than the anarchy that is being tolerated now. These states hold much of the nation's history. A sad state of affairs.
