Tape Error - krokadil

The first Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened to traffic on July 1, 1940. Its main span collapsed into the Tacoma Narrows four months later on November 7, 1940, at 11:00 AM (Pacific time) due to a physical phenomenon known as aeroelastic flutter caused by a 42 mph (68 km/h) wind.
The bridge collapse had lasting effects on science and engineering. In many undergraduate physics texts the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance with the wind providing an external periodic frequency that matched the natural structural frequency, even though the real cause of the bridge's failure was aeroelastic flutter. A contributing factor was its solid sides, not allowing wind to pass through the bridge's deck. Thus its design allowed the bridge to catch the wind and sway, which ultimately took it down.[2] Its failure also boosted research in the field of bridge aerodynamics/aeroelastics, fields which have influenced the designs of all the world's great long-span bridges built since 1940.
No human life was lost in the collapse of the bridge. However, a small dog perished after it was abandoned in a car on the bridge by its owner, Leonard Coatsworth, and by another man, both of whom were bitten by the terrified dog when they attempted to remove it. The collapse of the bridge was recorded on 16 mm film by Barney Elliott, owner of a local camera shop, and shows Leonard Coatsworth leaving the bridge after exiting his car.
This footage is still shown to engineering, architecture, and physics students as a cautionary tale
Someone once called Chris Austin's songs "nightmare lullabies"...
It's imagery that sits well with the band, themselves generally dysfunctional and often at odds with the world around them. The band comes from the Medway towns and was started in 2011 by Chris Austin and Matt Bell, who earlier in 2012 were joined by Stan Read on drums. As the band has found its feet, Tape Error has increasingly become more about homemade music. Their album comes out during the early part of 2013, on Dancing Turtle records.

I knew Chris austin and matt bell. when i was feral teenager. Sad news about chis. I always thought he had star quality. Rip. Jamming with Mike mcvey in heaven!.
