Eastbound drivers stuck on the lower deck between the collapse and Yerba Buena Island were routed up to the upper deck and westward back to San Francisco. A miscommunication made by emergency workers at Yerba Buena Island routed some of the drivers the wrong way; they were directed to the upper deck where they drove eastward toward the collapse site. One of these drivers did not see the open gap in time; the car plunged over the edge and smashed onto the collapsed roadbed. [wikipedia]

It's funny to see how people comment on here about this the same way I did back then. Mixed views-I feel like that lady should have done more to flag them down, but I don't think she knew that there was a gap in the bridge. Now that we know there was a gap it's easy to question the judgement of these people. The mind only functions with what knowledge is given, so what you know now isn't what these people knew at the time. But because the bridge has almost no incline you can't see a gap.

@PoppingSanta first of all you have no idea what happened and you are right I am selfish I hope you are in an earthquake and go over a bridge into the water and get angries at the water and yell at the water you bes a selfish moron, i gots no brains in my head and gets angries at the ocean and calls the ocean a coward because you Sir are truely a selfish moron, not only that you are stockish. I can't even make sense of someone so stupid. You house is not glass.

So why did they stop to film ?
They/she was a selfish moron. The reason for why you are defending her is because you're just as selfish as she was. When bad things happend (?) you only think on yourself and will stop at nothing to survive.
You Sir/Madame are a coward.

@FuLuShouXi They were on the bridge after the quake, not during.

"That could have been us but we just turned around!!"
How about getting off your ass and warning the traffic behind you that there's a 50 foot gap in the road.
