Fender on the Beach
By Jack Schtuff:
A month and a half after the jack-ass hit the bridge the accident, the Half Moon Bay Review reports that a fender from the SF Bay Bridge washed ashore on Redondo Beach. Though most of the oil stayed within the bay, the recent fender finding is a sad reminder of what took place on November 7th, as the Cosco Busan crash devastated the SF Bay. As of December 20, 2007, the California Department of Fish & Game reports that the ship was bonded, before it was permitted to leave port.

At night, Conduit’s stainless-steel/copper grid will be lit up by LEDs.
