The bridge collapse blamed on the wrong physics
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Every high school physics teacher lies to you about this bridge. They show the grainy 1940 footage and blame its spectacular collapse on simple mechanical resonance, like a singer shattering a glass. In reality, it was destroyed by aeroelastic flutter—a chaotic feedback loop where the wind twisted the deck until the steel literally tore itself apart.
One discovery leads to another.
