Tacoma Narrows Newsreel

Back


Newsreel footage from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collpase. She was already known to move up in down in the wind, but in 1940, she began to oscillate due to resonance and would eventually collapse

lol its not fake, i cross that bridge...or the new Tacoma narrows, 4 times a day and today there is about 60 MPH winds.....and at least 20 MPH winds going through at all times.....trust me, this is VERY real....

This IS real! We were learning about it today in my AP Physics class and that the bridge was sturdy but the wind was going at a certain frequency to suddenly make the bridge swing and collapse. But to the skeptical: research this event or go read a book as Wingsoflead89 said, because it really did happen!

the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed on November 7, 1940.The remains, located on the bottom of the Sound. The collapse brought engineers world-wide to reconsider aerodynamic design in suspension bridges


Fake? read a book or something morons, or better yet just read up on some history, and if reading is too hard for you watch the history channel...not everything that confuses your small inbred minds is "fake" its just beyond your comprehension because you have the IQ of a door nob...

It's not fake, the design of the bridge's sides are solid. Bridges today have triangle holes cut out of them to prevent something like this from happening.
Imma 15 year old kid and I know this, come on people.

actually they're the shape of triangles because of the triangle's stability, strength, and sturdiness!
