Massive respect to the cables for holding up as long as they did!
-
Do you know at 3:35 you can see part of the bridge collapsing at 11:10 AM
-
We studied this bridge in my high school physics class with regards to resonate frequencies. For the same reason a singer can shatter a glass by singing the right pitch loud enough, the wind blowing at the right speed can cause the bridge to resonate at the right frequencies to collapse. Especially if the bridge is poorly designed.

I never tire looking at this bridgex

Tacoma bridge collapsed
-
This episode is called the gertie and it will give me nightmares and I will never watch it ever again😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
-
But on Thursday, November 7th, A windstorm whistled across the narrows. The winds were now hurtling at 67 kilometers per hour (42 miles per hour). Gertie began to gallop more than every. Suddenly at 10:03am, the bridge went to a torsional twisting motion (the bridge suddenly went into a twisting motion) The sides rose and fell 25 feet up and down every sides tilting at 45 degrees.
-
After the wind there was more remains of the bridge there was a cable that was torn into pieces after the collapse many people got off the bridge and got back to safety but after the collapse it left all of the steel intact and the towers of the bridge were still standing
-
The crazy part of bridge it kind of collapsed on itself and there was no stable support under the bridge
-
And the Tacoma Narrows Bridge was built and with trusses underneath the bridge it was called the stable Gertie
-
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was built in 1937 with the hollow cross trusses. The original Tacoma Narrows bridge was built in 1939(?) and collapsed in 1940, didn't follow the design of the Golden Gate Bridge. Why the engineers back then don't learn??

When I was a kid I was told the story of “Galloping Gertie.”
-
😳😳😱😱... ma lasciavano transitare auto e camminare persone su di un ponte in quelle condizioni atmosferiche?!? Pazzesco.
-
I think the bridge usually collapsed because of its own structure weight
-
Nov. 7 1949, “The Collapse Of Galloping Gertie”
-
More of the cables snap and the bridge was snapped back like a slingshot
-
Earthquake you bridge up collapsed 😮
-
At 11:01am, pieces of cement fell. And there was a sound which was the cables which were snapping and it sounded like a whip cracking.
-
The bridge was twisting very violently
-
After the bridge with lifting a lot the cable snap anime ever snap and the road gave out
