Listen "DDH - Galloping Gertie"
Episode Synopsis
On November 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge twisted, buckled, and fell into Puget Sound in a dramatic collapse that shook the engineering world. Known as “Galloping Gertie,” this suspension bridge was meant to symbolize the forward momentum of infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest. Instead, it would stand as a painful lesson in design and wind engineering.
