[00:00:00]These structural failures changed engineering forever. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, 1940, a suspension bridge that started resonating in 40 mph winds and tore itself apart, taught engineers about aerodynamic flutter. The Ronan Point collapse, 1968, a gas explosion on the 18th floor caused progressive collapse of an entire corner of a tower block, changed how we design buildings to prevent progressive collapse. The I-35 W Bridge, 2007, undersized gusset plates caused a major US highway bridge to collapse killing 13 people. All of these disasters directly improved modern building codes. Every disaster makes buildings safer. Follow for more engineering history.
