With the way the new one is disintegrating, they had better think twice about this...

Whispers... yes.

And they keep bragging about how complex and advanced the engineering is, but from common experience, we all know that complex systems are quicker to fail than simple solutions, sometimes spectacularly so. Even so, the freeway approaches will be under water in 50 years, so failure questions are probably moot.
