The Collapsing Bridge

- “I remember seeing the ‘Galloping Gertie’ Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in a Physics class in high school,” Lucy Walker told The Atlantic, “and the surprising image of something as sturdy and robust-looking as a mighty bridge twisting and twirling like rope-and ultimately snapping-has always stayed with me.”
In 2017, Walker, an Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker, was asked to make a short film inspired by the theme of “bridges” for the annual TEDWomen conference. “One of the first things I always do when approaching a subject is to think about poetry on similar themes,” Walker said. Immediately, she called to mind Kate Rushin’s “The Bridge Poem." Read more: www.theatlantic.com/video/ind...
"Bridge Poem" was directed by Lucy Walker. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.

Turn the audio off! It sucks
This is interesting and all, but I really wanted to learn about how bridges collapse.
nickotron Dou it's to do with resonance-, I'm sure there's good videos on it
Yeah, was hoping for that instead of some poem
Tacoma Narrows bridge, we learned about it in our college structures class, it's actually very interesting! Im sure theres other youtube docs on it
It's basically wind turbulence causing the bridge to oscillate first slowly then more agressively as the turbulence increases. Look up Tacoma bridge shedding votticies.
It’s due to resonance and vibrations
WTF I just wanted an explanation of this bridge
Resonance
joseph o - Aerodynamic forces. The bridge was too light and limber to resist. Once a motion started in one of the normal modes, a steady wind added energy through vortex shedding, so the oscillation was self-reinforced. The twisting mode may have been initiated when one of the stays added to try to control the motion shifted or broke, creating an asymmetry. The twisting mode destroyed the bridge.
@ChillLetsPlays thank you very much
Instead you got a arrogant pretentious gas bag reading of a poem that should have been read to a bunch of deluded clowns living in their parents' basement raging against the machine, pissing and whining about their perceived spoon fed thoughts of injustices in society.
But,Wow....Look at the wonderful and insightful poem that actually goes right along with this. Now, We all can understand that there was someone that worked on the design and construction of this bridge that said it won't work. But nobody wanted to recognize his/her voice. It's a perfect example of how nobody listened and it led to disaster.
Yo that bridge is crazy dogg
kiDkiDkiD12 the only causality was a dog
@@zorrokitty5666 I was about to type this lol
I’m confused. Why are there poor attempts at subtlety injecting politics into a video about a bridge destroying itself?
ItzSpencerr - They have an artistic license. Nobody has to like it. Just move on.
ItzSpencerr - And you have it backwards. They injected a video about a bridge collapse into a poetry reading.
cuz it is what it it? dont like it? stop watching n leave kids
@paragraphs paragraphs he doesnt pass 3rd grade. what u expect, he dumb.
The guy runs as fast as me doin math
Who else came expecting a video about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
I grew up in rural Portland, Oregon and remember my parents talking about this bridge collapse when it happened.
love the video,
some of the footage I have never seen on RUclips
ware did you get get it?
amazing
Resonating frequency matched
She sounds like a good friend...
Not!🤣🤣
the audio in the backround is so fhawking annoying
It's the bridge is Mt power
Final Destination 5?
This is sad history
the footage is cool
💚💚💚
powerful!
superb
Similar to the indonesia kutai kartanegara bridge😢❤
This is right by my house
I am so sick of the voice over. I'm sick of the voice over. Ruined the video
Audrey agreed
There is something wrong with that sad and perhaps disturbed lady commenting. She makes no sense.
This voice over is just me talking to my body lmao. meirl
Traffic infested nightmare now
Simple harmonic motion
Scary 😱
Seriously no one is talking about the man left his car and falls down
0:44 something falls to the right
Driven frequency matched to resonating frequency :- science behind this
i came to watch this video for the bridge footage, not the poem
Still dont get it
DNFMA1 - It’s a poem, illustrated by vintage video of the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
I love this poem! And this film that goes with it!
a new ride at Six Flags ?
I just love this poem.
I love this, others are bridges too
There was a dog inside of a car that fell
Honestly though the guy could have saved the dog by driving across it he was already halfway there and was like walking is faster. Bruh
The footage is great. The poem not so much.
Woulda been real cool without the poem
If I was on ill 🤒 noooooo
Why did I have to listen to some woman crying all that I wanted to watch was a video of a bridge collapse.
Me: Before:🤢🤢🤢 After:😵💀☠
Why it flexing like that tho??
Ummmmm the bridge is going to collapse and shack????
Poor dog...So sad☹️😭😥
Why people just crossing the moving bridge normally????? 0:30 - 0:48
Wat are you talkin about
That guy left his dog in the car and ran to safety. 😡
@Eren&Historia Royal Blood I seen the documentary on this, he left the dog in the car and ran.
From what I hear, he tried to save the dog but it was so scared it kept biting him... you can only do so much before you have to think of your own safety. For all he knew, the bridge was seconds from collapsing.
I'm sick of you using me as your every excuse ...
Jesus Christ 😲😲😨😨😨😱😱😨😨😵
Everyones pain is their own ... Bam ... 😮😮😮😮😀😀😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂💩 ...
I thought this would be a mini documentary about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Don't normally like modern poetry. I find (the ones I have come across) to be pretentious at the best of times. At its worst it feels like wading through treacle.
I enjoyed this. I even listened to it twice . One line in the poem that stuck with me... and not well, was "I'm Sick of being the sole Black friend to 34 individual white people (folks)" She says "folks" but the real poem says "people"
Anyway this sounds like its HER issue. Not sure what any of the 34 can do about it.
Although I don't really care... who does? DOWN WITH WHITEY. Fight the powder, DAMN THE MAN, Do the do.
Can we make a bridge with nanotechnology that can repair itself
Just sad
This poem had nothing to do with the videos we are watching.
สะพานยืดหยุ่นได้
Sorry, it's not even among the TEN longest bridges of its type
David Cohen - It opened in 1940.
THIS WOMAN NEEDS A FRIEND …. BAD "" THE JEWISH WEDDING,RAPTURE-STEP BY STEP ""
As a liberal who likely has all the same political and social justice beliefs as the speaker, I find her message naively unrealistic and insidiously nativist. Her idea that she should get rid of bridges to the outside world is promoting the idea that bubbles need to be re-enforced and she plans on disengaging from the rest of the world. That is the same dangerous sort of thinking as the alt-right engages and creates the extreme partisan climate of today. This is an incredibly negative video that promotes immaturity and selfishness over rational dialogue.
She is not destroying her connection to others in the world. She's arguing that she will not be used as a tool for others, "bridging" the gap between a person and his or her ideals. If there is any bridge that she wants to construct, it is one of self-actualization "to [her] own true self."
Nothing about this poem is about disengaging communicatively. Nothing about this poem is political. Nothing about this poem is "naively unrealistic" or "insidiously nativist".
She is absolutely disengaging communicatively when she says "I will not be your translator." We are living in a world where bubbles are getting far more reinforced and bridges, like the video illustrates, are collapsing more and more. You can act as a bridge to others while still self-actualizing. That is why this is insidiously nativistic. It echoes "america first" style thinking. This poem is promoting selfishness and immaturity. We need more people who can communicate between two ideologies and shrink the influence of bubbles.
She doesn't want to be the go-between for other people to communicate. When she says she doesn't want to be a translator, it is because she doesn't want to be used as a replacement for open and honest dialogue. She herself doesn't need a bridge; in this sense, she is the bridge. Yes, you can fault her for not wanting to be the go-between, but ultimately she does this because she needs to understand herself.
Though I agree with how isolation and naivete made Trump's victory a reality, I still believe that this is a poem about self-actualization, mainly because of the poem's last line, "I must be a bridge to nowhere by my true self." Because she has been used as a bridge for others, she has never had the opportunity to understand and solidify her own beliefs.
rivera752 Mind elaborating on how it's stupid?
Dude I wanted to learn about the bridge not whatever this is
Jacob Ray - It says “Bridge Poem” on the thumbnail.
these could be an answer, alone or a part of several combined factors;
The total structure of many parts put togethet have a natural frequency. This natural frequency unfortunately is equal in most of the time to the natural freq. of the wind that is passing the bridge...... at these particular time. ......and long enough ( having equal freq.). Continuation of these same freq. with time cousing the bridge to swing and waves as of it was the wind it self or to embody the wind. What is seen actually is the wind, thr bridge just happen to be there.
Take an analog as in some asian and south american traditions; a medicine man being controlled by Ruah ( spirit or wind in hebrew).
So the wind coused the structure to destroy itsef........... by benedictus.
@@helengeorgia2706 many thanks for attempting to help educate those who truly believe you tube is a substitute for acquiring knowledge from a reputable source.
The catastrophic vibration caused by the unique combination of subtle movement of a bridge in this case, by wind, traffic etc.
if not negated by the correct reinforcement will tear apart the "strongest" structures with easy.
The poem's a prefect example of that for people who don't actually want a physics lesson, but to see the same passing breeze emotionally can be just as devastating to a person's mind.
Chaos Theory is said to be why this happens
What in the hell is she talking about? It has absolutely nothing to do with how and why this bridge collapsed. Lol
This poem does not match the video! wh HUH???? I don't even understand!
How can you all misconstrue this beautiful piece about Mental Health???
The lack of intelligence is baffling.
Misleading. I just turned the volume down and watched.
@@justmeagain4631 it literally says the description in the first 8sec. Lmao
Made in USA quality
I just wanted to learn more about the bridge, not a fucking political discussion
LeoDahVee - Then why are you here?
Leave out the bs.
And to the Feminist-Islam.
ruzzell907 feminist Islam does not exist you fool.
either way i hate both of em
I like the video, but the pretentious/nauseous poem/narrative is not only unnecessary, but annoying. Keep it for your gas bag reading at your dime a dozen corner woke coffee shop filled with all the aspiring pseudo intellectuals living in their parents basements ranting about injustices.
MUTE
Who is the liberal talking?
What is the BS propaganda in the background?
What’s with the pointless commentary 😏
This poet is boring. Could I hear from an engineer?
Thank god for the mute button 👍
Keep the negative alive!!!!
