I’ve run the NYC Marathon numerous times which starts on the Verrazano bridge, and it moves like this when your running on it. The scariest thing is as your running the roadway is either higher or lower than you think it should be as your footfalls and really throws you off stride.
Hard lesson learned from the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge (a.k.a. "Galloping Gertie"). Newer suspension bridges that do not use a truss deck are now aerodynamic to minimize the wind effects that brought "Gertie" down.
Many many years ago, there used to be a big needle near the center of the span. If that needle ever hit one side or the other of the gauge, they closed the bridge for this exact reason
Bridges are supposed to do this in the wind 💨 otherwise it would cave in to the water below. Same reason why the elevated subway tracks shake when a train rolls through
I've been acrossed in a semi your good it is designed to do this when in high wind conditions as you there are no cats crossing at the time if the video
If it's moving that much, vehicles are kept off for the reason why it's moving - the wind. If the wind can move that road deck, imagine what it could do to taller vehicles, or even crossovers.
@@EndIessProductions The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge was an exception to this rule. Suspension bridges are quite flexible by design, hence the oscillations present in the video, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge was flexible and as a result had similar oscillations like the ones seen in this video, however they were somewhat amplified considering the fact that “Galloping Gertie” used 8ft deep plate girders which ultimately led to its demise on November 7th 1940. As a result no bridges use plate girders like the ones on “Galloping Gertie” because of what happened on that day. The collapse of the 1940 bridge had a different kind of oscillation compared to how it normally would oscillate, at some point the bridge switched to a torsional movement which caused the roadway to break up as the swaying of the bridge increased with each swing which caused cables to snap and the centre span fell into Puget Sound.
The wind is flexing the bridge and the parts designed to move over each other for thermal expansion (large bridges can expand and contract several feet over a day/night cycle), interleaved metal joints and giant roller bearings are making all the noise.
everyone who got this in their recommended is a legend
I drive from this shit bridge everyday 🙄
Me lol

It is creepy & scary, but the bridge was designed to do this, other wise it would fail.

It's amazing that a lot of people don't know this.

The class above you whenever a student moves their chair:
Yes.
This is soooooooo accurate
LOL! I like how it feels that the bridge is ,.."breathing".
It's breathing..
I find this strangly relaxing.
Next part:
A Godzilla stand and walks in the video
Sounds like violas and cellos.
Yoooo this is creepy!
WOw, there really ARE giant monsters in New York!
Galloping Gertie! Ooops. Wrong bridge!
whoa a possessed bridge this reminds me of the movie i want to make night of the living bridge
either you take this wavy feeling or you take the ferrys wavy feeling
So scary
They don't call it suspension bridges for nothin'.
El maldito puente respira.
just wait til it start twistin like the tacoma narrows 💀💀💀
Sound's like HBO's Chernobyl soundtrack
Its breathing no big deal

No that is not true
Bridges are meant to stay quiet and still even in high winds
Only my laundry service would know how I felt.😳
Theres no way i would go on that bridge.
I've been acrossed in a semi your good it is designed to do this when in high wind conditions as you there are no cats crossing at the time if the video
I went across it once. I recommend not doing it, I nearly puked.
@@HAA0603 if you want you can puke on me
A whole bunch of MTA express buses use it. I’ve been across it many times. It’s safe.
luckily the bridge was made to sway like that
Sway and rubbing right on Pitch. 🎶🎶🎺🎷
wow, thank you Justin
Was the bridge actually closed at this time. Are vehicles allowed to cross when it is heaving this way?
This was during tropical storm Isiah (sp?). The upper level was shut down for about an hour.

Scary. Also who got this recommended to them?
I was expecting to see a bunch of walking zombies appearing on the horizon line of the bridge at some point !
Um what
Actually bridges are designed to do that to prevent it from collapsing
Except the Tacoma narrows bridge

Was that bridge singing
Algorithm comment
Sounds like Godzilla
Is dis for real? If im there im gona
*SCREEEEEEEEEEE*
When was this??
Tropical storm Isiah
Why is no one helping that poor bridge?
It's designed to do that as in it's normal... no issues with it.
Okay can anyone please explain what’s going on... I’m confused 🤨

No me gusta que el el puente se mueva
Noooojk
Video theft!
