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

Maybe it was just a piece of concrete. Like Pedgem says, the poor scared dog seemed to be the only fatality.

I read somewhere, perhaps the source wasn't accurate, that the bridge bended like that even with slow wind, and cars drivers that dared crossing the bridge sometimes couldn't see the car in front of them due of the oscillation.

the bridge is lower than the trees in the background it was just that the speed of the wind be it 20mph or 80mph made the bridge vibrate and set in motion the swaying
