That seems foolhardy;<p><pre><code>    Immediately following the Loma Prieta quake, the
    GGBHTD engaged a team of consultants to conduct a
    vulnerability study. The conclusion of the study was that
    under a Richter magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquake
    with an epicenter near the Bridge, it would experience
    severe damage that could close this important
    transportation link for an extended period. If a Richter
    magnitude 8.0 or greater earthquake centered near the
    Bridge, there would be a substantial risk of impending
    collapse of the San Francisco and Marin Approach
    Viaducts and the Fort Point Arch, and extensive damage
    to the remaining Bridge structures, including the Main
    Suspension Bridge.
