On This Day, November 07, In 1940, The Galloping Gertie Bridge At Tacoma, Washington Collapsed In Strong Winds Resulting In A Six Million Dollar Loss, Just Four Months After The Grand Opening Of The New Bridge. The Winds Caused The Evenly Sized Spans Of The Bridge To Begin To Vibrate Until The Central One Finally Collapsed.
