After the installation of the “golden gate” on the bridge in the networks of San Francisco and in order to prevent the spread among local residents, it began to spread en masse to … craving for suicide. The fact is that the sounds that these structures make in the strong wind make people literally go down. In this regard, a new urban legend has even arisen in San Francisco that the souls of those who died during the construction of the bridge, as well as those who ended up on it with them, cry out to the living.
Indeed, during the design of the bridge, it did not arise that it began to widely absorb suicides, so its structure was calculated to withstand the wind. The winds, by the way, are severe here – their speed reaches 160 km / h, however, steel supports and cables can easily see them. What can not be said about flimsy aluminum grids against suicide.
The bridge’s suicide jumps have nothing to do with its operation, but the presence of 2020 networks on it and natural sound structures create extremely unpleasant acoustic effects that greatly annoy residents. So much so that some of them have already completed the event due to the continuous howling, humming and grinding. This forced the internal authorities to develop a plan to install compensating plugs that change the aerodynamic model of the bridge so that it stops making creepy sounds during wind.
