Narrows Bridge Collapse With Sound Rare

- The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a pair of mile-long suspension bridges in the U.S. state of Washington, which carry State Route 16 across the Tacoma Narrows between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. They replaced a bridge that was opened to traffic on July 1, 1940 and which became famous four months later for a dramatic wind-induced structural collapse that was caught on motion picture film. The original span's motion earned it the nickname "Galloping Gertie".
Due to materials shortages as a result of World War II, it took 10 years to build a replacement bridge, which opened October 14, 1950. The 1950 replacement bridge was sometimes referred to as "Sturdy Gertie", and, like its predecessor, was the third longest suspension span in the world at the time of its construction. Population growth on the Kitsap peninsula caused the bridge to exceed its vehicle capacity, and a parallel bridge was constructed to carry eastbound traffic, while the 1950 bridge was reconfigured to carry westbound traffic. The new bridge opened July 15, 2007, making the Tacoma Narrows Bridge the longest twin suspension span in the world.
To see concrete and steel rock back and forth like that is scary.
+Tammy W. The way it broke was that one cable broke, it went downwards, then it bounced back and forth, as the other ones pulled, and the wind boosted the twists, then it just went... CABOOM!
SURE IS SCARY I'VE GOT GOOSEBUMPS
Happened in Russia recently
It is amazing it held up as long as it did under all the incredible stress of twisting!
The audio is annoying and fake. The video is amazing and real.

Fake sound.

Joshinhollywood sounds real to me.
The "wind" sound was dubbed in. The original footage didn't have sound.
I agree!
Penny wise Original didn’t have sound.
The sound - sounds like the ocean hitting the rocks
It's just a sound loop of waves crashing
Imagine that a bridge made out of condoms

RIP Tubby. He was a good boy.
Definitely fake sound. In fact it sounds like a repeating loop! Even the video is repeated!! Do these people think we are stupid?!
Probably

8 mm cameras could not record sound back in 1940.
yes they do
Um,,yep,, I concur,, I made it till 2 minutes and went "ya bullshit",,was gonna write the same thing but you beat me to it .
If the man got out why didn't he take his dog. 😢
The dog was refusing to get out sadly and the owner didn’t want to risk his life so he had to leave, hopefully the dog went out quickly tho :(
Grab the dog by the scruff of the neck!!
The dog survived because the man went back to get him.
Who cares…at least it was one less dog for the postie to worry about 😁

That concrete was much more flexible than I would have expected.

RIGHT
thats exactly what it was ment to say
He was bored with the complexities of life and knew there were worse days ahead that were warned to him in a dream.
What is it about bridges collapsing that’s so terrifying and at the same time captivating. I really wanna visit the garabit viaduct in France. They used it in the film Cassandra Crossing.
Pretty good movie. Scary bridge in that one.
It's incredible how poorly the bridge was built. I would've thought the engineers would've studied the wind behaviour in and around the Narrows of Puget Sound *before* building the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and built the bridge accordingly. It's incredible that no one, except for a pet dog, was killed in the collapse.
I guess the engineers weren't very bright in those days.
Vic Morrow Chick From what I've read about the Tacoma Narrows bridge, it was designed by the same company that did the Golden Gate bridge, in San Francisco.
back then it wasnt believed that this could really be an issue. Wind causing aeroelastic flutter in a steel structure? Preposterous. Also it wasnt something that was easy to study back then.
RokkerBoyy
Aeroelastic flutter is something I was not aware of until you mentioned it. Thank you. I am guessing you studied something along the lines of structural engineering. I did chemical so this is not really my area of specialisation. Thanks again :-)
RokkerBoyy I've never heard of aeroelastic flutter before.
"OUR FAMOUS BRIDGE", The MIGHTY MACKINAC, has steel grating built into the bridge decking to allow air flow. This steel grating mitigates the stresses put on the bridge by winds. It doesn't appear the new bridge has that(.i maybe wrong).I know the original bridge did not, which was one of the factors contributing to it's collapse. Wind gusts where the MAC bridge is built have been clocked at 80mph & up.
I believe I saw a documentary on the MAC which mentioned the Tacoma disaster and the lessons learned that were applied to future constructions like the Mackinac bridge.
This bridge is realy freaking drunk
SURE IS DRUNK
i remember someone saying that they didn't even model or test the design before building it since the design worked in san fracisco
My brother worked on the new bridge. He has some amazing pics he took from the top. Some pics were taken thru the fog. Pretty cool.
Nice
"Bridge Collapse With Sound Rare"
You mean the same looped stock audio of crashing waves repeating in the background that probably have nothing to do with the original footage?
WOW!! .. WTF?? .. who f*cken cares about the stupid sound track?? .. look at the f*cken bridge collapsing!!!
💩👎🏽👎🏽
@@MisTracy39TheVeganLady Yawn, apparently 17 people care, so I guess your question is redundant.
That bridge would have made plenty of noise, but it would be clanging and rattling, creaking and groaning, and finally, a huge crash, The wind would provide accompaniment.
Looks like Water under a Troubled Bridge. : /

An amazing piece of footage. OK, much of it is looped or 40 years later, but still, an amazing video.
Pedro DaSiva thank you :)
Pedro DaSiva Two similar bridges were built in Russia. One spans Golden Horn bay to link the two halves of Vladivostok. The other one spans the ocean from Vladivostok to Rossiya Island. The latter is now the longest cable suspension bridge over an ocean. Both are quite beautiful bridges. Even though they were careful to avoid the "Gallopin Gertie" problem, they STILL had a harmonics issue when the wind reached a certain velocity so temporarily had to shut the bridge down. There is a video of that vibration somewhere on youtube. They hired a Dutch Company to add some type of stabilizers to eliminate most of the problem, although an article I read stated that there will be instances when they will close the bridge to assure the safety of travelers. Hope they built a couple of hotels on Rossiya Island. It is a long swim or ferry ride to Vladivostok in the winter. :)
In Russia, bridge crosses YOU!
Tacks Sherbo There is a Golden Horn in Russia? We should have patented that name which belongs to the estuary in Istanbul, bridging the old city of Constantinople and Pera.
İbrahim Çağlayan Yes, I know that. The one on the east coast of Russia, of course, is in Russian on maps. I just translated it into English. ("Zolotoi Rog" --don't have Cyrillic keyboard.)
I saw this film as a child in the 1950s and have been afraid of bridges ever since!
Hi there!
We (as a people) should not judge the persons who had to endure this in the 1940s! It is not fair! We have the benefit of modern technology, a luxury not afforded to those people then. America was still in the midst of a (2nd) World War.
We didn't get into the war until 1941.
It was a reality and only time until we got into ww2. We were a different nation then. The winds and light weight material over a long stretch of road led to horror and tragedy. Awful, the nation grieved
Is it just me or shouldn't you be running off the bridge instead of that fellow walking casually while the bridge was rockin 3:33 he may have saved himself 30 secs
Good point but he survived the collapse right?? what about his dog?? Did he forgot to open the door to let the dog run out..
Someone pointed out that the footage is actually means to be played at a slower frame rate. A very close call, but not quite as close as it appears.
It wasn't the girders or tresses on the bridge that made it fail. The key is looking at the roadway of the new bridge. It has grates that are open to the air between lanes. Galloping Gertie was one of the first bridges that made engineers realize that aerodynamics are vital. The bridge deck in essence became a long wing in the wind, lifting and falling. Because the higher pressure air underneath the bridge had no where to go. The new bridge has open grates to allow pressures to equalize.
I made this video in 2008 the switch back and forth was to show the new bridge from the old bridge to the new bridge as is today
Go to 1:05 on the video. See the solid greenish panel right above the 5? I saw a display in the museum in St Louis that said that if those panels had been open rather than solid all the way across, the bridge would not have come down. Big vortexes formed where the green panels met the bridge deck, and somehow they set the bridge to twisting, and ultimately it was destroyed.
What 5
Five mile span between Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas (Macinaw "mighty mac" bridge) has metal grates in the roadway that vehicles drive on. It's like 'expanded metal' with diamond shaped 'holes' through out. This allows air/wind to pass thru the structure. Bridge was built about 1958 and is under constant maintenance and holding up well. I'm no bridge designer, but them uprights on this Narrows Bridge seemed awful skinny to me. I suppose that's what happens when you're trying to save money on a project. ...and yeah, for the record, I DO think I could have done a better job.
@@sharkfangaming7919 the "5" in the 1 0 5 video time display. It's the support under the roadway which extends between the upright.
I think I would have been hustling a little quicker if I was them people ! Well it held pretty good for what it went through!
Footage is authentic. I have seen this in National Geographic, The History Channel, Moderns Marvels just to mention a few. The Sound, don't think so. I don't know where they get that but is has nothing to fo with the collapse of that bridge
All I can say is, "Put the Pedal to the metal, like real FAST!!!!"
11austin3100 . its not fake and, no it was not made of concrete. its made from asphalt which is flexible up to a certain point and thats why it started to fail. the only editing was the fake audio, they used girders instead of the proper rigid beams they should have used and this plus the ocsillation caused by wind made it twist and eventually it broke.
The problem with the construction was the solid side panels that did not let the wind pass through. This set up an oscillation in the span, that caused turbulence that made the oscillation worse, till the air tore the bridge apart.
I live 5 miles from the bridge. It's history is a particular point of interest around here. If you know where to look, or want to dive those rapidly flowing waters (from tidal forces) you can still see much of the old bridge wreckage.
Owiko7;
No.., it’s not made of asphalt ether, it was made of steel, it’s just that this bridge was not designed or made using a technique we call “bridge-girdering” which is the design technique You see on ALL suspension bridges now and was used on the Golden gate bridge witch is why that bridge still stands today is because it was built with that girder technique and also why the Brooklyn bridge still stands is because that building technique was used on that bridge as well- see the differences in how the side of “Galloping-girdie” was built and how the sides of the Golden gate and the Brooklyn bridge are???
Thats why those bridges stand and Galloping girdie fell.
Thats a completely confused descriotion. First, bridges are not made of asphalt vs concrete. Asphalt is the road surface it contributes virtually nothing to the structure. And the cause of the collapse had little to do with the TYPE of structure, bridges are made from girders or trusses every day. The issue was a lack of consideration for wind effects, and particularly harmonics. Without wind, the bridge was sufficiently strong. Without sustained wind AT A SPECIFIC VELOCITY, it woukd still be standing.
Just FTR, I see no purpose in adding fake wind sounds. Id love to have a REAL recording of the sound, but faking it seems worthless.
@niecers there are bridges all over the world built with a grid structure under the road surface or even WITHOUT a solid surface. There is a bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau Quebec, another over the St Lawrence Seaway where you can watch the river below you as you pass. That has little to do with the stability of the bridge, which was a victim of wind harmonics.
The reason the bridge failed is very closely related to the effect of an opera singer breaking a wine glass. The wind (or sound waves for the singer) sets up vibration and or movement in the structure. Every structure has what are known as native harmonic frequencies, which the structure naturally vibrates at. It has to do with size, shape, thickness, type of material etc and is unique to that object. When some outside force (wind or sound) induces a vivrstion that matches one of the harmonic frequences, the object begins to match and then to ADD TO the movement. If the forces continue to build, they can eventually reach the breaking point. Today, large structures are tested in wind tunnels to determine the effects of wind or earthquakes. The solution is often NOT a stronger structure, but one that is allowed to move, but is designed so that different parts move at different ways, acting to prevent harmonics. When one part begins to vibrate, that frequency will slow or even counteract movement elsewhere, damping down the overall effect. One thing us certain: if a structure is allowed to reach its native frequency and continue without damping, it WILL fail, whther built of steel, concrete , or crystal.
It's only by learning by mistakes that advances in engineering are made
gemma stone there is a big difference between making a mistake and intentionally not following procedures,cutting corners,using inferior materials to put money in ones pocket etc.
This is now why we have balancing berties now.
Why were the people strolling about like nothing was going on?
all they needed was to get rid of the middle part. Seemed fine after that was gone.
What type of owner does that I mean that’s so stupid
it didnt have any trusses on the bottom, therefore its essentialy a big metal rope bridge, causing the strong winds to throw it around like that
where is mothman?
Lol
Wrong bridge.
Wrong state
Ya'll act like Mothman doesn't get vacation days from his day job and hates to travel or some shit....
And they even charged a toll to drive across that pos. Did they refund your money if you never made it to the other side?
annoying wind sound well what do you expect hahaha:) it was not a nice day LOL thanks for your comments
The guy on the bridge needed new pants.
i live 21 miles away from it. yes this video is real and yes this bridge did fall down
Really
This reality is terrifying
I am truly terrified of bridges and for many years would not drive across one - my fears are obviously not totally unfounded
The best parts is when there is no talking and music playing in the background. You can literally hear the wind screaming like *”I’m about to fck some stuff up. GET OFF THIS BRIDGE NOW!”*
solitary car in middle of swaying bridge ~narrator: "can this man make it off this doomed bridge" ? man calmly walks off with pipe in hand ~ narrator "yes, he makes it just in the nick of time" ~ *NO* it was *PRECISION TIMING* to savour the deep aroma of the pipe tobacco during a mild crisis" LOL Guy was Cool as a Cucumber whereas most people would be full sprint to safety 🤟😆
It lasted 4 months
It is impossible to read the captions as they are on screen for just a very short time.....too short to read or they are on a white background. A crap video.
That thing was really bucking and twisting. Surprised it lasted that long.
what is this nonsense? a looped sample of waves crashing with a crappy filter... dubbed over the video? and why does the video switch from old footage to new footage of some yoyo in a car driving over the new bridge? this video doesnt make sense to me.
On a side note... no one died, the bridge was suspended with no lower support which is why it inevitably collapsed, and 9/11 was an inside job.
it switches back from old to new Because I was trying to show from the new to the old " I thought it would make interesting.
its called being creative can't please everyone I guess I try :)
Actually it's called lying, but you do you.
My question is, why did the man leave the dog in the dam car in the first place?
The dog bite his hand when he tried to get him. Also, when a bridge is bending and breaking, you don't have much time to waste
Holy Jesus, Im going to have nightmares from that sound.
I thought a professor saved tubby.
@alex134219 spastic I showed the old bridge and the new bridge whats your problem?:) GEES
I think the sound is rare because it was probably added. I've seen a lot of this footage, in the past, and there's no reason it wouldn't have included sound if sound had been recorded. Maybe I'm wrong, but, it doesn't seem to make sense that this has been played everywhere and it never had sound.
I'm afraid I have to agree with others on here who find the dubbed sound and the repetitive looping to be nothing but nuisance value. But don't worry, I haven't actually given you a thumbs-down. Ignoring the squabble over whether or not the pooch survived, does anyone have any info on who the two cretinous pedestrians are walking along the footpath while the bridge is gyrating like that? They appear to be a man and woman (arm in arm?).
They seem to be out for a stroll and daydreaming.
+Tony England - indeed! Whatever they were 'on', I want some!
Here is a great chronological video:
And it mentions the people. I believe the man in the video was trying to get to the car to save the dog inside. RIP the dog.
I believe the pedestrian shot predates the collapse. The bridge was famous for bouncing in any wind. Hence the nickname.
Would have been nice of Tubby’s owner to let him out to have had a chance!!!!!
He tried, but the dog in the car was freaking and bit him. So the owner decided to save his own life since the situation was perilous.
How could they Forget the Dog?
If at first you don't suceed, build, BUILD, Again!
If at first you don't suceed,keep on sucking till you do suck a seed!!!!!!!!hahaha!!!!!!!!!
Film of the collapse's sound is "rare" because this is dubbed. Everybody knows a sound recording of the collapse doesn't exist.
well, this was time wasted.
Thanks for the video mate. I walked over this bridge while backpacking to the Olympic Peninsula a few weeks ago. It's a spectacular bridge and has beautiful views.
Driving on the original replacement bridge (shown in the current shots) as well as the newer replacement bridge (at left in the current shots) is still a hairraising experience.
If you build a bridge and fails ; at the contract of both index bridge CLINE Avenue BRIDGE contract ASSIGNED TO KISSINGER instead. instead;
Galloping Gerdy is what they called it when it fell. It is less than 20 miles from me.
can I use a segment of this in a dive video with other stuff since I often dove down to the fallen bridge in the narrows. and I will put the link for your video but only want a couple very short segments and yours is the best
The sound is dubbed in later, but the footage is real, some of it rarely seen. Could have done without the modern footage driving over the newer bridge.
Galloping Gertie
Robert Young: I was wondering if this was the bridge that was called Galloping Gertie. Now I know!! Thanks!!
you're very welcome
It still blows me away that it happened in only forty mile per hour winds. It wouldn't have stood a chance where I live. . .
Those Men that build bridges are real Men; very tough Men.
Next time when you’re thinking you’re a tough guy, check out these type videos then ask yourself, 🤔 Hmmm 🤔 , Really?
This is one of the most famous structure collapses in U.S. history.
9/11
Based on the thumbnail, I thought perhaps the current Narrows bridge collapsed🤦♂️
Rest R.I.P. Tubby
That poor dog! The owner just left him in the car and strolled away at a care free pace while puffing his pipe! Why? Also, why does it sound like demons talking in the background? Super eerie!!
I’m just different .. granted my dogs have actually saved my life.. how does a pos have time to stop park his car RIGHT in the middle and get out and run and not grab his dog
What's up with the karaoke ads all over the video ? I hate being taken for a fool.
Nae thanks to the makers of the Forth road bridge nut ? ken for the new yin. If it wiz nae for the forth road bridge you would never of had the Texas chain saw massacre movies. Work that one out.
I wonder if any fishes got injured or killed. Anyone knows? RIP Tubby.
Very poorly cut collection of rehash with a soundtrack of ocean waves added. Boo....
Do people really believe this was the actual sound and not just a sound bite of a random storm being played over and over?? LOL!
Sounds and looks creepy. It's hard to believe that people were still on that bridge looking calm as if nothing is really happening, it's like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?😬💀🙅🏾
Tacoma narrows bridge...( galloping girty) was it's nick name.
I drove across it recently, and I wonder what the hell they were thinking at time. Thats no quick jaunt across the sound!
I only came to see tubby rip tubby I feel bad for him I'd let the dog go and me stay to die................
whyt he guy who leaves the car...dint pick up the dog...damn..
That bridge would've never come down if they reinforced the roadsides
I'm going to make a video saying "first video ever, now with sound" and dub 35 screaming toddlers over it
black guy would've built an awesome bridge whiteboy
I have never seen any account of the disassembly and removal of the remains of the old bridge. I know it sat there until after the war. I grew up in Tacoma, and my Father took me walking out on the rebuilt bridge once when I was little in the late 1960's. It was scary for a little kid! We ate lunch at a restaurant called The Span, that was on the west side of the bridge. Brings back memories, thanks.
In other videos the dog is saved
did the dog die
Bilbo Malice yes sadly
RoyElvis Dawson rip tubby :.~(
+Ricardo Martin del campo Had a dog just like it...
not
'Rip Tubby.' He probably did.
Walk across the 1950 bridge some time and it still moves!! There is a harmonic vibration and you can also feel it lift and lower about 1 or 2 inches. I have not had the chance to walk the new bridge to see how it is but I will sometime.
A good Man would have taken His DOG. POOR DOGGIE🙏
Awesome rare footage.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
I lived not too far away about 30 miles SW of Portland and do recall my folks parents chatting about it in sheer amazement when this actually happened.
It's a fake sound because all of the bolts that hold up the bridge should have been popped out of place which would have made an ear-splitting noise
I heard a story about this and legend has it that a mysterious cryptid known as the Mothman could’ve caused the bridge to wobble like that.
Nah it’s the wind
The mothman legend was at the Silver Bridge also
