According to the New York times article about the Golden Gate bridge was actually very interesting I found out things that i honestly didn't know before. Most people say that the Golden Gate Bridge was named after the Golden Horn of Bosporus. The bridge that lead to San Fransisco is actually only 73 years old and if you actually think about it isn't that old. Finding workers to build this bridge was difficult, most were people out of work. Eleven of these workers died just three months before the bridge was done being built. It was risky working on this popular bridge. The bridge has gone through design and redesigned over again. The bridge would have to gone through mathematics before is was built. Fifty thousand commuters drive over the bridge every weekend. I liked this article it was very informing. I thought it was sad that couple workers died a couple days before the bridge was done.

Personally i thought the bridge was older but its not that old.& about the eleven workers diying right before the brigde opened is sad because they had worked on it for a long time and after all that they had done they couldnt see the work they had accomplished. what suprised me to know was about the computers. The Golden Gate Bridge is a famous, big, and nice brigde. i like it at night when it ligts up.
The Golden gate bridge is a grate topic to pick! I had know idea that the bridge was only 73 years old. Its sad that people died to build that bridge. It was interesting to know that the bridge went threw redesigns. Fifty thousand commuters is a lot more then i thought there were.It was a good summery.
