Greetings from the Golden Gate Bridge, where Cassam Looch prefers to see destruction over artistry in the movies

From Retiring Guy's postcard collection

7 Great Movie Moments Featuring the Golden Gate Bridge.  (The Culture Trip, 5/19/2017)

Not sure how old Cassam is, but it sounds as though he's going on 12. As the video below shows, the bridge is often seen as a soft target for filmmakers eager to show global destruction. Just like the London skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge is so recognisable that audiences all over the world will know just what it means to see it attacked..

The glaring omission.
