Tacoma Narrows Bridge Video

Dear Students:

Here is the bridge video we saw today in class.

Here is some information about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge:

"The first Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened to traffic on July 1, 1940. Its main span collapsed into the Tacoma Narrows four months later on November 7, 1940, at 11:00 AM (Pacific time) due to a physical phenomenon known as aeroelastic flutter caused by a 67 kilometres per hour (42 mph) wind."
