In the world of engineering and construction, the margin for error is measured in millimeters. The (dubbed "Galloping Gertie") was an engineering marvel—until it wasn't. On November 7, 1940, the bridge began to twist in 35-mile-per-hour winds. For four hours, it writhed like a snake. But the actual collapse? The moment the concrete began to fall? It was destroyed in seconds . A 600-foot span of steel, concrete, and human ambition ripped away and plunged into Puget Sound.
