Tacoma Bridge Collapse

[ryankO0sh]

GUYS. THE BRIDGE WAS NOT RESONATING. understand that the bridge was forced to the side by the wind. then gravity brought it swinging the other way, giving the wind more surface area to push on. from there the swinging elevated until the bridge couldn't handle it anymore. the phenomenon is called aeroelastic flutter, not resonance, which would indicate the bridge was vibrating, which it wasn't. vibration is directional, the flutter was omnidirectional, hence the difference.

@ryankO0sh you watched minute physics bitch.. & you didnt even give credit to the source

[95AEME]

did anyone watch minute physics? it didnt collapse because of vibrations, but because of aeroelastic flutter

nothin' some duct tape can't fix

Fatally injured, what a P.C way to say killed.

It just needs a paint job.

haha a little bundo and primer

[robbiejacknazza]

yeah, evetyhing gives off a frequency and when it becomes equal, it does this and vibrates, hense how people can break glasses by singing.

[gblargg]

A much better and more familiar example is a swing; by pushing with a small force at the natural frequency, you can make a person go very high.

@robbiejacknazza resonance...

[AnnieRoxx]

Its because of the resonance..the wind is blowing,and its having an effect on the bridge..the frequencies are equal. Hope u understand,sry for my english. :-) :-$

[dciuz]

It is not possible resonance, because it is impossible that the frequency of the wind is the same of that of the bridge. There is no wind whit just a frequency.

[AnnieRoxx]

Sorry,my physics book says it,and I learned it last week at school..:-) Probably I couldnt wrote it down perfectly here.

[dciuz]

I'm sorry but my Vibration's course's Professor said that it's not correct speaking about resonance. I'm Italian, where are you from? Tomorrow I'll speak to my professor again and I'll ask for a rightly motivation

[conventelite]

lol how does a bridge do that?

[jcroldan89]

by dancing

saludos desde la UCA, alto puente

We love our wind in Washington. The next bridge will be the Astoria OR to Magler Washington. That bridge has some bad rust!

[HelmutVillam]

"Hmm, lets all look at the cables casually while we ignore that the bridge below us has COLLAPSED and that we could fall into that cold WATER!"

Nice!

[bryantuten]

Well maybe they were trying to figure out what caused the collapse!!

[crayon02]

Good Video!

[sarahcyberfreak]

wow

[MysterEy1]

You're invited to watch my vlog about the Bridge Collapse in Minneapolis rt. 35

(I also have 1,100 other videos to choose from)

See ya there,
