Galloping Gertie
quote:
Construction began in September 1938. From the time the deck was built, it began to move vertically in windy conditions, so construction workers nicknamed the bridge "Galloping Gertie". The motion continued after the bridge opened to the public, despite several damping measures. The bridge's main span finally collapsed in 40-mile-per-hour (64 km/h) winds on the morning of November 7, 1940, as the deck oscillated in an alternating twisting motion that gradually increased in amplitude until the deck tore apart. The violent swaying and eventual collapse resulted in the death of a cocker spaniel named "Tubby", as well as inflicting injuries on people fleeing the disintegrating bridge or attempting to rescue the stranded dog

There was an old bridge over Kistachie Falls back in the 90s. I loved that old bridge. I spent many summer fishing, swimming, just hanging out on or around that bridge. They tore it down and replaced it with a new bridge sometime in the late 90s/early 2000s. I could not find a picture of it anywhere on the internet, but I knew they showed in the 90s movie The Man in the Moon.
So I just grabbed a screenshot. It was much more impressive in my memory.
