Golden Gate Bridge

The traditional (and original) color of the bridge was black. Now, for some reason, it is an ugly shade of blue.

Over nine thousand times.

The Golden Gate Bridge was needed so, the two sides of the bay will connect.

San Francisco is a major seaport, which is considered to be a gateway to The Golden State, California. A very interesting portrait of early California can be drawn from reading a book titled "Two Years before the Mast" by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. Dana Point, California was subsequently named in his honor. Pictures do not do the place justice.

The deck is approximately 245 feet (75 m) above the water, per Wikipedia

At midspan, the height of the top of the roadway surface is +270.9 feet Mean Lower Low Water, which is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. At the south abutment of the Bridge, the height of the top of roadway surface is +186.5 feet. The difference, equalling the rise in elevation as you travel across the Bridge roadway, is +84.4 feet. These data are from the most recent survey done in 1992.

Directly beneath the Golden Gate Bridge is a strait called (no surprise) the Golden Gate, which separates San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

It does not cross over a river, it crosses a streach of water called San Francisco Bay.

Drops off to an abyss depth of 500 ft underneath the North tower.

it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed during the year 1937, and has become one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and of the United States

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California was the longest in the world (1,280m/4,200ft) between 1937 and 1964. It was beaten by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City (1,298m/4,259ft). The Humber bridge in Hull, England (United Kingdom) measured at 1,410m/4,626ft when it opened in 1981 and is currently the 5th longest bridge in the world (whereas the Golden gate is currently the 9th longest bridge in the world).

The Golden Gate Bridge's official color is International Orange. During it's construction, there was much debate about what color the bridge would be painted on completion. Some people simply liked gray or black. The Navy disagreed because it would blend in with San Francisco's heavy fog therefore making it easier for ships to crash into it. The Navy suggested that it be painted with Black and yellow stripes so that it could be seen easier! Eventually, people noticed how the steel on the bridge rusted, forming an orange red color. The Navy accepted this because it was still easy to spot on foggy days. And so International Orange was chosen for the bridges color!

Many wanted to build the bridge. The proposal finally took place in 1916 in the San Fransisco Bulletin by former engineering student James Wilkins. They estimated the cost of the bridge for about 100 million super super impractical for the time. The asked bridge engineers the question on if it could be done for less. Joseph Strauss answered it and was very ambitious having built 300-400 bridges already. He said he could do a draw bridge there for 17 million. Strauss was chief engineer in charge of overall design and construction of the bridge project. However, because he had little understanding or experience with cable-suspension designs,responsibility for much of the engineering and architecture fell on other expert..

it is 900 ft long

I believe that this answer is impossible to calculate but I can give you an estimate of about 100,000 cars per day.

The materials used to build the Golden Gate Bridge came from several states. The steel was manufactured by Bethlehem Steel in plants in Trenton, New Jersey, Sparrows Point, Maryland, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and Steelton, Pennsylvania.

If you hit the water at an appropriate angle and speed then it is probable, but you chances are low and I don't recommend it.

Please don't attempt to harm yourself intentionally. People out there can help you, and do care

Jumping from the bridge is fatal more than 99% of the time.

"Can you jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and live?"

You better hope you don't!

There is a jumper who attempted suicide by jumping off that may help your thought process if you, or anyone is thinking about trying to jump off of this deadly bridge. The moment he let go, he realized he didn't want to do it. He realized most of the things in his life were fixable, and those that were not, weren't worth dying over. He regretting ever attempting it as SOON as he let go of the rail and began to fall (true story...look it up). Don't let this be you ... As the story goes, in a stroke of grand luck, and after some time in ICU he recovered and made it out of the jump alive. A boat picked him up immediately after the jump because he was unconscious from the impact otherwise he was a sure goner. The injuries he had from hitting the water were 50/50 in his chances of survival AFTER he got to the hospital... he was quite lucky and now he speaks out about why not to ever attempt what he tried.

The Golden Gate is roughly 190-225 feet. A fall such as that breaks bones, and can damage internal organs. One lucky jumper said he felt the explosion of the fragments of his back discs ripping through his stomach upon impact. He had a collapsed lung, and a concussion as well. He was one of the lucky ones that happened to survive. Hitting the water from 200 feet in the air will result in some bad injuries most of the time, my friend ...the jump is generally fatal. Realistically sure.. you CAN survive it, several people have over the years but the odds are against you and most perish. For every one that does happen to survive there are several more that didn't make it. Let's put it this way ... when one person does survive it makes the headlines as an odds breaker. There are many more in between that are simply down and out. Every single one that jumped and did manage to survive the fall says it was not a pleasant experience in the least after finally being released from the hospital from their injuries... ... Supposedly the jump has has as low as 90% to 98% fatality rate.
