Flap, Flub, Flutter, Fakery

This is so much fun to watch. Love the music by the way. :) Just love that bridge and all those hokey flying machines. :)

Thanks, dollink. I thought that you'd enjoy our favourite bridge!

F,F,F,F,.....hilarious. I love it!

I especially like the gust of wind at 1:26.

My goodness, Tacoma Narrows Bridge is wild. Imagine driving on it while in the midst of a storm??!! Crazy... Great clips.

Do you mean the disrobing shot? That was probably quite risqué in 1933, particularly since they'd begun to enforce the prudish-bigot codes.

"Flying" inspired me --> Flying Down to Rio --> failed flight --> Tacoma bridge in "flight".

I loved making this one.

Yes that's what I meant. Great clip, and yes quite edgy for the 30's. Ha, lots of flying going on huh?! ;^]

I actually think that it's amazing how long that bridge held together through the aeroelastic flutter.

You're so right, how amazing indeed. What great footage.....unreal.
