| Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse "Gallopin' Gertie" |
 |
Watch the amazing "Gallopin' Gertie" November
7, 1940 video clip.
1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Slender, elegant and graceful, the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge stretched like a steel ribbon
across Puget Sound in 1940. The third longest
suspension span in the world opened on July
1st. Only four months later, the great span's
short life ended in disaster. "Galloping
Gertie," collapsed in a windstorm on November
7,1940.
The bridge became famous as "the most
dramatic failure in bridge engineering
history." Now, it's also "one of the world's
largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains
of Galloping Gertie were placed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1992
to protect her from salvagers.
A dramatic tale of failure and success
The story of the failure of the 1940 Narrows
Bridge and the success of the Current Narrows
Bridge is a great American saga. When
Galloping Gertie splashed into Puget Sound,
it created ripple effects across the nation
and around the world. The event changed
forever how engineers design suspension
bridges. Gertie's failure led to the safer
suspension spans we use today.
