There are also a few other versions around the Net:

The State of Washington has a couple other views from that Castle Films
version of the "Galloping Gertie" movie at
<http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/eesc/environmental/programs/culres/bridges/bridge_pierce_099.htm>.

There's a somewhat longer clip at the Smithsonian site
<http://www.airspacemag.com/asm/Web/Site/QT/Tacoma.html>.

There's a much longer clip, though a bit fuzzy, at the Science Joy Wagon
<http://sciencejoywagon.com/physicszone/lesson/09waves/resonan/tacoma.htm>.

Best wishes,

Larry
