The first Tacoma Narrows bridge was locally known as “Galloping Gertie,” since its slender design lacked stabilizing girders, causing it to twist and bounce in the wind. The bridge opened on July 1, 1940, after 29 months of construction and $18 million invested. On the first day of operations, 2,053 crossed the bridge after an inaugural parade of vehicles led by Gov. Clarence D. Martin and Tacoma Mayor Harry P. Cain. But Gertie's life would be short-lived. A little over four months later, on Nov. 7 of the same year, the bridge collapsed during a massive windstorm. The high winds struck the Tacoma-Narrows Bridge at a critical angle and caused vibrations to set up, which eventually collapsed the bridge. Maximum wind speed, 31 mph in downtown Tacoma; probably higher over Puget Sound. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, with a main span of 2,800 feet was the third-longest suspension bridge in the world at that time, Because planners expected fairly light traffic volumes, the bridge was designed with two lanes, and it was just 39 feet wide. This was quite narrow, especially in comparison with its length. With only the 8-foot-deep plate girders providing additional depth, the bridge's roadway section was also shallow. The decision to use such shallow and narrow girders proved to be the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge's undoing. With such minimal girders, the deck of the bridge was insufficiently rigid and was easily moved about by winds; from the start, the bridge became infamous for its movement. A mild to moderate wind could cause alternate halves of the center span to visibly rise and fall several feet over four- to five-second intervals. This flexibility was experienced by the builders and workmen during construction, which led some of the workers to christen the bridge "Galloping Gertie". The nickname soon stuck, and even the public felt these motions on the day that the bridge opened on July 1, 1940. The failure of the bridge occurred when a never-before-seen twisting mode occurred, from winds at 40 miles per hour. This is a so-called torsional vibration mode, whereby when the left side of the roadway went down, the right side would rise, and vice versa simply put the two halves of the bridge twisted in opposite directions, with the center line of the road remaining motionless. This vibration was caused by aeroelastic flutter. Fluttering is a physical phenomenon in which a structure becomes coupled in an unstable oscillation driven by the wind. Eventually, the amplitude of the motion produced by the fluttering increased beyond the strength of a vital part, in this case the suspender cables. As several cables failed, the weight of the deck transferred to the adjacent cables, which became overloaded and broke in turn until almost all of the central deck fell into the water below the span.

In this episode, Erika covers the killings of Carroll Edward Cole.  Cole had a thing for strangling his victims, and was said to maybe one time even attempt cannibalism. He had a deep hatred and problem with women, stemming from his feelings about his mother. This would lead to many issues for Cole and he would end up taking all the built up hatred for his mother out on sex workers and married women, who were  unfaithful to their husbands.  Listen in while Erika walks you through the many murderous nights of Carroll Edward Cole.Erika pulled her sources from:www.wikipedia.comwww.murderpedia.comwww.latimes.com / Nevada Executes Killer of Five: 25 View Death of Carroll E. Cole by Lethal Injection / David Freed / Dec. 7, 1985Then Amber covers, the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse. In 1938, a new bridge design was underway that would revolutionize travel for locals between Tacoma, WA and Gig Harbor, WA. The engineers wanted to make a bridge that was beautiful and sleek, so standard engineering design was tossed out, and a new design was brought in. While this design may have been aesthetically pleasing, it was not structurally sound. Amber pulled her sources from:Engineering Catastrophe's on Amazon Prime Season 3 Episode 4 “Terror in Tacoma”Wikipediawww.history.com  This Day in History “Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapses” www.britanica.com “Tacoma Narrows Bridge”

Welcome to the first episode of Testing 1-2-3, a new podcast from NI, where we speak to engineers, experts, and those on the forefront of some of the world's biggest inventions and possibilities, to look at the world around us from the lens of testing. Get ready to deepen your knowledge, experience some “eureka” moments, and have fun in the process. In the first episode, we explore how we created a modern world complete with appliances, automobiles, and aircrafts ready for everyday use and consumption. We know rigorous and repeated testing is important, but what happens when things go wrong? We welcome two experts to talk about why testing is so important, so overlooked, and yet so underrated. The first guest, Melanie Cragnolin, brings her 17 years of experience in structural engineering to discuss the negligence of three historic engineering failures: the Titanic sinking, the Hindenburg, and the Tacoma Narrows bridge. The conversation then shifts to the value of test in aviation with former test pilot Chris Solan, who explains why he may be the most relaxed person on the plane. Learn More About: The Titanic, Hindenburg, and Tacoma Narrows are three separate catastrophic failures, but they each have a common theme of a need for more testing, listening to the engineers, and speaking up when things seem off. The human obstacles that engineers and designers face underlining the need for careful, thorough, imaginative testing.Melanie shares some interesting facts about what was happening in the Titanic that you may have never heard before. Why we need to be more proactive than reactive when it comes to Testing. What additional testing could have been done in each of these tragic instances, and also the need for backup plans and safety measures in case things do go wrong. Chris explains the engineering perspective of the wings on a plane flapping during turbulence, and it may calm even the most nervous flyer. What really happens if we take our phone off airplane mode while in an aircraft? Snakes on a plane may not be real, but for one flight, mini dachshunds sure were!  Resources Mentioned: NIMelanie CragnolinChris Solan 

The top headlines from The News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington, for Feb. 16, 2021, including COVID-19, education and work on the Tacoma Narrows bridge.

1940 kam es mit dem Einsturz der Tacoma Narrows Bridge zu einer bedeutenden wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis. Durch diese Katastrophe hat man bei Bauwerken nicht mehr nur die Statik berücksichtigt, sondern auch die Dynamik.

Amid all the news this week, some in Washington noted the anniversary of a famous Northwest disaster -- 80 years since Galloping Gertie collapsed in the Tacoma Narrows.

The first Tacoma Narrows bridge was locally known as “Galloping Gertie,” since its slender design lacked stabilizing girders, causing it to twist and bounce in the wind.

What do aircraft wings, the Tacoma Narrows bridge and Coronavirus modeling all have in common? As you may have guessed from the title, it's bifurcation — just about the least intuitive (or predictable) behavior known to humankind. In this episode, we talk about bifurcation and its relation to all of these — as well as how understanding bifurcation can affect real-world racing...and how the same effect that can tear the wings off a plane can also make for the terrifying speed wobble you may have experienced on a fast descent on your bike.

If you were to look at anything under an electron microscope – your lunch, yourself, your t-shirt, space dust, moon rocks, the bricks in your house, a slice of cheese – anything at all – you would see it's made up of atoms. And those atoms are vibrating. It's one of the first things we learn in physics at school – everything is vibrating. All the time. And everything vibrates at a particular frequency. If you heat something up or give it energy in some other way (think microwave ovens) it vibrates faster. If you cool something down it vibrates less. Everything vibrates at a frequency and everything has its own frequency. When you agitate something at the correct frequency, you can break it. Have you even seen the footage of the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge that began to twist and turn in high winds before breaking apart? Or an opera singer breaking wine glasses by matching the frequency of her voice to the natural frequency of the glass? Did you see the "wobbly bridge" in London give visitors an unexpected ride on its opening day? Look closely and you'll see that slowly, people on the bridge started to walk in step with each other, matching the natural frequency of the bridge. This is the reason marching troops of soldiers break step when they cross a bridge. Because because frequencies interact with each other, and they harmonise. If you cause something to vibrate, that vibration can be passed to something else. If you put two tuning forks next to each other they will harmonise and find a common frequency. It's how the coils in the transformers that charge our laptops work. It's how radios work. It's how signals are transmitted. It's how the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun. It's how the universe holds itself together. Everything vibrates and everything has a frequency. The neurons in your brain are vibrating and transferring electrochemical energy along their pathways to send signals from one place to another,  and this energy – this resonance – can be detected by brain scanning machines. Even thoughts have a frequency. Have you ever heard someone say something that you can completely relate to, and thought “that really resonates with me”? That's because even ideas have a frequency. And when you're thinking about, or discussing ideas with someone who's “on your wavelength” (it's no coincidence that has become a common phrase) you are harmonised with them. You are aligning your thoughts and ideas with theirs. Not all frequencies are beneficial though. Microwave ovens use radio waves that are at just the right frequency to agitate water molecules. This is good when you want to heat up food, but considering that your brain is made mostly of water, you wouldn't want to stick your head into a microwave oven. And what about mobile phones? What happens when the molecules in our body harmonise with the frequencies emitted by that electronic box that we hold next to our head every day? It's something that is still being debated, but experiments have produced a wide range of varying and conflicting answers to that question. It's a question that Lucy Blyth, the MD of Global EMF Solutions takes very seriously. That's why she runs a company that makes and sells Energy Dots. These are little magnetic stickers that attach to mobile phones, computers and other electrical devices and are tuned to harmonise the potentially harmful frequencies they emit and make them much less harmful. I was lucky enough to have a short chat with Lucy about how vibrations work, how they can affect our health, and what it means to raise your vibration.

The collapse of the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge is one of the world's most recognised structural failures. Were there any warnings from history that this failure could have occurred, and more importantly, if failures like this had ever happened at the past - why did we as a profession forget the lessons learned? Footage of the bridge collapse can be viewed on YouTube https://youtu.be/j-zczJXSxnw 

As we approach our Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States, Astonishing Legends would like to thank our fantastic fans from all over the world with our final Part 4B of The Mothman series - the rest of the conclusions. Not only did we think this would make a good bonus for our listeners, but an undivided Part 4 would've been, shall we say, monstrous. Of all the things to be thankful for this holiday season, just remember that as weird as things are, they could always get weirder. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Do we only see what we can understand? And if we refuse or are unable to understand, are we then not seeing all of the elements of our reality? If beings and creatures from alternate realities truly exist, then what is their origin story? What is their purpose and what are we to them, or more to the point, what do they want with us? In Part 4A of our series on the Mothman of Point Pleasant, WV, we examine some of these questions and try to find conclusions of our own, outrageous though they may seem to be.

At 5:00 p.m. on December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge which connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and Gallipolis, Ohio, collapsed. Being rush hour in mid-December, the bridge was full of commuters on their way home from work and holiday shopping trips. The collapse sent 32 vehicles into the frigid waters of the Ohio river and 46 people lost their lives, with 2 bodies never to be found. The cause was as prosaic and understandable as it was tragic - a minute defect causing stress corrosion in a suspension eye-bar. However, what we may never understand is a connection some claim between the collapse and the first sightings of the Mothman, widely thought to be 13 months previously, to the day. Was there a warning that no one could comprehend? Even if a warning could be interpreted by someone who was starting to put all these strange puzzle pieces together, would their findings even be believed? Could this tragedy have been prevented, or was it inevitable? It might behoove us all to start taking notice, as correlations to sightings of bizarre creatures and catastrophes around the world continue to this day. Tonight's Quote: They’ve done it again. Those lousy bastards have done it again. They knew this was going to happen...and when. And they gave me all that bilge about a power failure. They knew.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: March 12th, 1986 --- MacGyver rescues a teen hacker from terrorists and feds [SPECIAL GUESTS: Rob Paulsen and Darcy Marta!] MISSION: A gifted student helps her professor to solve a glitch in a government weapon, but soon finds herself the target of an ODI investigation and a terrorist wishlist. MacGyver intends to protect the girl from both teams. This week's highlights include: SPECIAL GUEST: ROB PAULSEN! This week, a conversation with the incomparable Rob Paulsen, voice of a thousand characters, and many of your favorites whether you realize it or not. In addition to his prolific voicework, Mr. Paulsen hosts his own brilliantly entertaining podcast Talkin' Toons (with a focus on voice acting and voice actors). If you haven't already, I insist you give it a listen. His efforts can also be supported through his Patreon site here. Above all else, Mr. Paulsen is a champion of several charities including the Wounded Warrior Project and Operation Smile. If you have a moment, please take a look at each of these worthwhile organizations. SPECIAL GUEST: DARCY MARTA! This week, we chat with Darcy Marta who played Kate Lafferty in this episode. Since her MacGyver days, Darcy has taught acting for stage and screen. In this podcast, she'll share her many entertaining memories of the shoot. Here's a look at the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse mentioned in this week's episode.   Triangulation (Geometry) Contrary to popular belief, triangulation has nothing to do with murdering shapes. In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly (trilateration). The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles. Check out the article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation Watch S1E18: "Ugly Duckling" on CBS's website or check the alternative streamability of this episode here.

How do we prevent catastrophic failures like the Tacoma Narrows bridge or the Millennium Bridge? Just what is fatigue? Why do our computer models need to be more random? All this and more on Lagrange Point!
