Trivia: In 1987 the Golden Gate bridge was opened to pedestrian traffic as part of the 50th anniversary celebration. So many people crowded onto the bridge that it actually flattened out. (Suspension bridges normally never lose their natural arc.)
Apparently this was far and away the largest load that had ever been on the bridge, even though there were no vehicles on it. Some were concerned that it was about to collapse.
