This is an amazing documentary of the construction and the collapse of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge. For more thoughts on overcoming disasters see www.dandiamond.com/blog.
Check your history books. The video is actually real. It was shot by a teacher at Jason Lee Junior High School. He left his class and drove to the bridge to show this footage that is shown in most college 100 level physics courses as an example of harmonics. I wish it were fake. The guy that was supposed to buy the insurance money pocketed the money so the taxpayers really lost out on this one.

the bridge is made of steel and concrete floor. if this happen, 1st the floor of this bridge will have many cracks then break ups. so this is a fake video.
I found them by searching for quite a while on the internet. These were some unusual pictures that I hadn't seen before. I grew up in Tacoma and thought I had seen them all before.
The opening music is "Golden Nugget" from the Coming Attractions CD produced by the folks at Fresh Music. I highly recommend the company. They sell royalty free music for movie makers/podcasters etc.
Needs narration or captions.

This is very fitting for the day that the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge second span is being opened to the public. Very nicely done!
