Topic: Tacoma Narrows Bridge
The topic that I have chosen is the event that happened on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. The reason that this topic is appropriate to my specific honours degree is because the Tacoma Narrows Bridge had collapsed due to aero elastic flutter caused by wild wind. When the bridge was being built it would pick up a wave of motion that would cause the bridge to look flexible.
