On November 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge—known to locals as "Galloping Gertie"—tore itself apart in a 40mph wind. For decades, physics classes have blamed "resonance" for the disaster, but the real cause was far more complex and terrifying.
In this video, we perform a full autopsy on one of history's most famous engineering failures. We go beyond the grainy black-and-white footage to uncover the "dark business" of infrastructure that led to the collapse. From the arrogance of star architect Leon Moisseiff, who prioritized aesthetics over aerodynamics, to the shocking insurance fraud committed by agent Hallett French, this is the story of how a decimal point error turned a $6.4 million investment into a pile of debris at the bottom of the Puget Sound.
Join us as we explain the terrifying physics of Aeroelastic Flutter, the "negative damping" loop that destroyed the bridge, and why the quest for "efficiency" can sometimes be a death sentence.
