How the Tacoma Bridge Collapsed in Minutes
November 7, 1940 - a date burned into engineering history. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge twisted, buckled, and collapsed in a storm, destroyed by the very forces it was meant to withstand. This is the terrifying story of how wind brought down a giant.

"Galloping Gertie" was the nickname for the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which opened on July 1, 1940, and spectacularly collapsed on November 7, 1940, due to aeroelastic flutter caused by strong winds. It was the third longest suspension bridge in the world at the time and its failure significantly impacted bridge engineering. No human lives were lost, though a dog named Tubby was on the bridge and lost with a car❤️ | Wander Wonder

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was a suspension bridge in the U.S. state of Washington that spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. It opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and dramatically collapsed into Puget Sound on November 7 the same year. The bridge’s collapse has been described as “spectacular” and in subsequent decades “has attracted the attention of engineers, physicists, and mathematicians.” Leonard Coatsworth, a Tacoma News Tribune editor, wa
