Ep 71 Tacoma Narrows Bridge

<p>Engineering News – Counterfeit Part Detection (0:40)</p> <p>This week's engineering failure is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (4:15). Designed by some of the same engineers (10:50) as the Golden Gate Bridge we talked about last episode, this bridge only stood for 3 months before collapsing (18:55). A full inquiry (21:00) discovered flaws in the lightweight design and a new, stronger bridge was built that’s still standing today (26:05).</p> <p>Check out our Patreon page for Mini Failure bonus episodes -<a href='https://www.patreon.com/failurology'> https://www.patreon.com/failurology</a></p> <p>Photos/Sources/Summary from this episode -<a href='https://www.failurology.ca/'> https://www.failurology.ca/</a></p> <p>Ways to get in touch</p> <p>Twitter -<a href='https://twitter.com/failurology'> https://twitter.com/failurology</a></p> <p>Email - thefailurologypodcast@gmail.com</p> <p>Linked In -<a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/failurology-podcast'> https://www.linkedin.com/company/failurology-podcast</a></p> <p>YouTube -<a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh1Buq46PYyxKbCDGTqbsDg'> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh1Buq46PYyxKbCDGTqbsDg</a></p>
