Re: [Phys-l] Tacoma Narrows



There are online copies of the film if you hunt around. It is actually on
Youtube. However, the video which gives a coherent story by Dean Zollman
used to be available from the AAPT store. This video also details why it
collapsed. There is also a NOVA which may be purchasable or recordable.

Does anyone know the cheapest company to get this movie on DVD? Is the
film available for "free" online anywhere?

Has the issue of the bridge collapse been fully resolved/understood? The
idea of resonance was the leading theory for many years, but I believe
there were new ideas in recent years contradicting the resonance idea.
