Tacoma Narrows New Eastbound Bridge

"The current westbound bridge was designed and rebuilt with open trusses and stiffening struts and openings in the roadway to let wind through. It opened on October 14, 1950, and is 5,979 feet (1822 m) long — 40 feet (12 m) longer than "Galloping Gertie", the first bridge. It and its parallel eastbound bridge are currently the fifth-longest suspension bridges in the United States. Local residents nicknamed the new bridge "Sturdy Gertie", as the oscillations that plagued the previous design had been eliminated." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge

The Music was from an untitled track on the album "Hallucinating" performed by the band Apartment 26 which has since disbanded. You can check out their stuff at http://www.apartment26.com
