in all honesty you wouldve had someone on the water to save the dog when the bridge fell. and who cares if it bit you... your still saving a life.

that is true. tubby was the only one to die. A** of an owner could have picked him up, or at least gun it to get to the other side. And he was PAID for the dog, whom he didnt even attempt to save. IT was his daughters' and he didn't even care.

Aeroelastic flutter, not the wind, make the bridge collapse.

the bridge did not have a truss system, it was built like the verzano bridge, but without a truss system

Galloping doesnt need high wind to appear. The bridge came into resonance vibration because of the wind. Not necesary high. The car maybe could help avoid galloping, if it were in the right place

I've seen video of the bridge collapse before, but this is the longest and most detailed. Thank you!
