Unfortunately, Raymond Chen repeats the disproven theory that resonance caused the collapse of the Tacoma-Narrows bridge. [1] > According to the two engineers, the failure of the bridge was related to a wind-driven amplification of the torsional oscillation that, unlike a resonance, increases monotonically with increasing wind speed.
