    While no people were on the bridge when the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed, there was a dog in the car that was sadly killed during the collapse. Several people tried to save him but he was growling and snapping at people because he was so scared that they couldn't get him out of the car.

      Born in Tacoma, I grew up watching that film. But I was more amazed during an earthquake after we moved to California. One morning I was reaching for a paint brush hanging on the wall in the garage and just as I touched it, it moved further away LoL. I believe it was the Wittier Quake which was a pretty good one. It was about 70 miles south of me. Anyway, I looked out the garage door into the street and watched the street and sidewalk rolling up and down. It caused 3 waves about 2-3 foot tall. The houses were going up and down, block walls, our mailbox was moving like the mailbox in "Close Encounters". The block walls got a few cracks in the mortar joints, but the pavement and sidewalks were un-marked.

But the garage door wasn't opening. I realized _everything_ was shaking. I took a firm hold on her with one arm and wrapped the other around a streetlight. And stood there, facing south on 19th Ave, watching the 6 lane street rippling in _large_ waves just like you've wave a flag around. The entire Outer Sunset area of San Francisco - and a lot more, like the Marina district - is build on sand, and subject to liquification during earthquakes.

      @@davidbakin1953 I was 7 years old at an after school program in Clayton at Mt. Diablo Elementary School. I remember all of the sudden the building kind of shook and bounced, as if someone really large were jumping, but there was no foot fall and this bouncing increased with intensity and it came with a sound almost like a train that was coming closer . There was a long wooden table with bench seats and the teacher yelled, "earthquake! Under the desk!"
      I was already seated at the desk drawing a picture of a Jack o lantern as it was getting closer to halloween, so I just slipped down under the desk as the bouncing increased its intensity and the train sound louder and then both the vibrating and sound decreased as it passed by like a dappled effect.
      In the classroom we had one of those really old tvs with the two knows and it always took about oma full minute for the picture to come in. The teacher went tight to the TV to turn it on it was showing an aerial view of the bay Bridge from a helicopter. Then it was showing all of the devastation, the fires everywhere
      I remember then after that seeing all of the buildings that were destroyed, the marina district abd the tent city, all of the people not being allowed to go home,, people whose homes fell into cracks in the ground, the cypress freeway collapse and the civilians trying to get in to save people, the people digging through bricks and concrete trying to find people...
      It was so scary as a child to see all that, and then to be told, yeah, it can qnd will happen again, and we would never know when it will , and each aftershock struck fear further.
      In 1991 my mom got a job in Las Vegas. I remember asking my mom the only thing I really wanted to know, "do they have earthquakes in Las vegas?" "No they don't have earthquakes in Las vegas."
      And I was ready to go!
      I hate Las Vegas with a passion and miss California still. But that earthquake was so traumatizing as a child. Even being in Clayton where we didn't have any damage to speak of save some cracks in the pavement, seeing the absolute devastation all over the bay area, the sadness it caused, I was in a constant state of fear until we got to Las Vegas. I will never forget it. But I still love the bay area.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

    Minor correction: As a meteorologist and expat living in Thailand, I can tell you that you’ve got the monsoon season completely backwards. You mention it as October through March… that’s the dry season. The rainy season varies depending on where in Thailand you are (it can start anywhere from April to June), but generally it’s considered to be June through September… although April and May are marginal; indeed the Songkran holiday is celebrated with water as it marks the end of the dry season (it occurs in mid-April).

Nov-Feb = cloudy & [not as] hot, Mar-Jun = sunny & hot, Jul-Oct = wet & humid. But this video mentioned northern Thailand where the weather is more extreme. Thankfully a bit more stable where I am.

    The New Zealand bridge appears to be a “Bailey Bridge”. These were developed before WW2. The purpose was to create smaller parts that would fit on a Liberty ship that when assembled could form a bridge of indeterminate length. Today these parts are scattered all around the world. They are very much in use today. Washington state has an inventory of Bailey Bridge parts to use in the event of a damaged permanent bridge. They were never intended to make a permanent bridge.

    I crossed the bridge in New Zealand, its the only place where you can cross that river by car. The state highway 6 crosses lots of rivers, and most are single lane and sometimes quite long so that you must watch forward well ahead to see oncoming traffic already on the other end of the bridge. One of the bridges between Greymouth and Hokitika even had railway tracks in the middle of that single lane, but this bridge has been replaced with a wider one.
    As the west coast is very thinly populated and therefore traffic density low the building of sturdier 2 lane bridges is prohibitively expensive.
    I think this bridge always was a Baily bridge is because the river it crosses is fed by the St. Jozef glacier, one of the largest, and has the most severe flooding, it was not the first time this river took a bridge, and a Baily bridge can be built fast and relatively cheap as it uses standardised prefabricated steel segments.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

I sat on a city bus in the middle of the bridge, terrified of that bridge giving way like the other one, while a couple of professional photographers took pics of the still traffic that combined the traffic of I-35 and the normal traffic that uses it everyday. We sat on that bridge for 45 minutes without moving. I think we were all late getting to our destinations that morning. But knowing the tragedy that happened in that same river the day before actually shook me to my core.

The bridge was twisting and turning even in a little over moderate winds. The way it was explained, that 'skirting' of the bridge badly resonated with the wind, causing the problem. By redesigning the skirting and subject it to extensive wind-tunnel testing, they solved this problem for the new, replacement bridge.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

    11:46 "Workers tried everything possible to stabilize the bridge but, their efforts were of little use." What the engineers and workers did was fine...
    If you are going to do a documentary piece on such a well researched engineering failure as the Narrows Bridge, then you better get it right! The winds were part of it but not the whole story. BTW: the stupid wind-vortices or flow-separation theory was proven wrong decades ago. It all has to do with the resonance of the steel cables and structure, any white noise source of energy (such as, but not limited to, wind) would've caused a similar failure.
    Engineers and 'workers' actually did install tie-down cables to the spans of the bridge outside the towers to prevent this well known resonance issue; and, where they were installed, these cables worked as intended. The plan called for tie-down cables to be installed across the central span as well but POLITICIANS decided it was too expensive.
    Don't take my word for it, simply look at the bridge moments before it fails. The center span is in resonance while the outer two spans are (relatively) stable. Only after the center section fails and the towers bend outward do the tie-down cables of the outer spans go slack and they too begin their own resonance mode.

    He thinks that Taiwan bridge fell 500ft.
    You can clearly see it is about 5 storeys high as it is 1 storey above the 4 storey building on the left (9:45). 1 storey is about 8ft.
    So it's about 40ft from solid ground. Let's say another 5 feet lower is the water from the ground.
    Thats 45ft. Unless that water is 455ft deep. It fell nowhere close to 500ft.

    Driving (or walking!) over any bridge makes me VERY uncomfortable. That landmark bridge in Pasadena CA, ( which is allegedly haunted) is especially frightening to me altho it is very historic and beautiful. (It’s not the possibility of ghosts that freaks me out.) I think it’s just the idea of falling. When I was an adolescent, my sister & I were riding bare back on our horse and went across a small bridge over a large irrigation canal. The bridge broke, we all 3 fell into the canal and the horse rolled over my sister, who was most concerned how we were going to get the horse out of the canal. Luckily she was not hurt (!) & the canal was empty of water at the time…Maybe that experience was the origin of my fears….(Stuff happens when you grow up in the country!) 😟

    So, as a New Zealander, our country has “The North Island” and “The South Island”. There is no such place as “North Island”. This is because its official name is “Te Ika-a-Māui”. There is no such place as “South Island” because the official name of that island is “Te Wai Pounamu”. North and south are thus geological positions not island names. It is like fingernails on a blackboard to a New Zealander to hear where we grew up referred to as “North Island” and “South Island”.
