Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a pair of mile-long suspension bridges in the U.S. state of Washington, which carry State Route 16 across the Tacoma Narrows between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. The first bridge opened to traffic on July 1, 1940 and became famous four months later for a dramatic wind-induced structural collapse that was caught on motion picture film. The original span’s resonance earned it the nickname Galloping Gertie. Here is some incredible footage of that collapse.

Try this at home….

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon………… This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can’t. It’s pre-programmed in your brain!

1. While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6′ in the air with your right Hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so !!! And there’s nothing you can do about it !!!!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.
