@Thesupermachine2000 if you look closely ,there are trains passing on the lower levels , thats why it flexes

chris1234567895, You're probably thinking of the Tacoma Narrows collapse (you can youtube it; it's on here). Suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are designed to sway and flex to deal with wind, tremors (some, even earthquakes... see the new Oakland Bay Bridge in Cali), etc. Orgen is correct, if a structure this size were strictly rigid, it would fatigue and fault very quickly. Large bridges and skyscrapers move more than you think they do.

Awesome video. You have to really think about where the good video places are and get all of them. Thanks for Your great video. Had to watch is twice to realize the bridge was moving so much. (fav) Jim

@Thesupermachine2000 he told you why under the video: "Close-up footage of the Manhattan bridge moving with the subway traffic." Look at the fast -moving lights where the bridge is flexing - the weight of the train cars is making the bridge bend. This sped-up time lapse exaggerates the effect. The bridge is meant to 'give' like this, but it's still a bit disconcerting when you actually SEE it do this! And if you love music, come check out my 700 playlists. chuck

But why does it only bend on certain moments ? rush hour ? Or just fat people meeting on certain points along the bridge at certain times ?

If the bridge did'nt bend it would break. That's what it's supposed to do!
