Does any one know of any newscasts pictures videos etc. of when the golden gate bridge broke?
Answer:
Check youtube.com, they have tons of viedos.
I don't think it ever did. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the famous news footage of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsing?
That was caused by a strong wind creating a harmonic frequency in the center span of the bridge. The standing wave amplified until the center span tore itself apart. To this day harmonic frequencies in complex mechanical systems are still not fully understood.
I don't know the exact sight or any about the Golden Gate Bridge. But, I recall seeing such a video. It was (I believe) in the 1950'sto 1970's when it was discovered that certain adjustments needed to be made to this bridge, after winds made it rock and roll, and parts got damaged. I remember seeing it on a nature-type show perhaps a PBS show, or news archieve. I would try PBS.org, or something like historic videos, or just type Golden Gate Bridge damage on a search engine. I have a question...what's this I see on the net about search engines stealing our private computer info? I read this tonight, and I hope it is not true. My favorite search sight is Google.
Are you referring to the earthquake in 1989?? If so, that was not the Golden Gate Bridge, but the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that broke..the upper deck broke at one point and fell down onto the lower deck at an angle. It was the Cypress Structure portion of the freeway in Oakland that the upper deck completely collapsed upon the lower deck, crushing cars below.
I know this because I would have been on one or the other if I hadn't been at home on maternity leave after having my son in September and my husband was still at work.
