About this Item
Three separate views of the historic collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on November 7, 1940. One view is from the east pier during the corkscrewing at 10:45am and another from a similar time, viewed from below. The third shows the collapse into the Sound at 11:08am. Various factors including lack of torsional resistance, flexibility of the structure, "vortex shedding," and high winds contributed to the collapse; "Galloping Gertie" becoming an all-time lesson in physics and bridge construction. 3 RPPC's, 2 filled out on versos, 1 blank. Generally very good or better with minor corner and edge wear. Seller Inventory # 6069
