Have any of you ever looked carefully at how the Brooklyn Bridge is constructed? It's not for nothing it's been standing 120 years.

I think you'd have to spend about a week with your invisibility suit on loosening bolts to have any impact. Plus, even if you did unfasten one of the vertical support cables, what are you going to do with it? These things are under incredible tension. About 15 years ago (and before lots of subsequent maintenance) one of them got loose by itelf and killed a Japanese tourist.

I think this guy is selling the Brooklyn Bridge, not attacking it.
