fellow iron workers worked untethered or untied to the structure in any way. >> it was the old rule of thumb, i don't know quoted it, but for every million dollars you would lose a person. >> after that bridge he went to oakland to work on the bay bridge. soon after he joined a crew that was building the area's signature span, the golden gate. it's a move that almost cost him his life. >> they had the net, but they allowed it to sag into the dirt so when he hit he hit the full force. he went into st. luke's hospital and that's where they formed the halfway to hell club, people who fell and lived. >> bridge working and iron working were not only his passions, they were his legacy. passed on to three generations of men who followed. that included his great-grandson, johnny, who worked on the new bay bridge. >> for a lot of people it's not glamorous, but it's what i love and what we love. >> al died in 2000 at the age of

95, six weeks after the ground break fourth the new bridge named in his honor. and before construction on the new bridge. >> are you going to miss the bay bridge? >> not really. this is part of what we do. >> are you going to be sorry to see it come down? >> no. we are ready for a new one. that new one is beautiful. i think it's time. >> they think al would agree. in crockett, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> happening today after this, they will hole a rally protesting the sale of the berkeley's post office. the mayor lost his appeal this week to save the building. the postal commission rejected his appeal, which means the sale can proceed. protesters have been camping out in front of the post office for weeks, in an effort to convince the postal service not to sell the property. consumers spend $3.5 billion on them last year. we are talking about legos.

and cool looking, but all the different colors mean you have to have a ton of different trace around you of lego brick. when we do models, the fewer the colors, the faster it builds. >> the bricks are glued together. there are no restrictions so even a person with any age, including mine, can get into it. >> some lego sets have as few as 77 pieces. but london's tower bridge set at 292 pieces. what happens when the kids leave bricks all over the floor? there's a sweeper for that. it makes picking it up a whole lot easier. dan got hooked while laying with his son. now he's also a master builder. >> there is something satisfying about putting something down, snapping it together. there's something inside our brains or something that says, oh, that's good. we have control over that. i made that. >> in san jose, david louie, abc7 news. thousands of people are expected to attend the 61st
