The first,"TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE", just "two lanes", known around the entire world now as"GALLOPPING GERDIE".
The man who had the money to ,"insure", the first bridge, put the money in his pocket, as he was so sure the engineers had designed the perfect bridge.
Well obviously they hadn't.
The engineers did not design a way for the ,"strong winds", which are common in the ,"NARROWS STRAIGHT", to ,"flow through the decks". So the bridge went down in the first major storm it faced.
The new," NARROWS BRIDGE", has no ,"grated decks", or whatever.
I spoke to one of the, "foremen", on the westside, you know, just mentioned it to him.
I was making a delivery.
Anyway, he assured me, it would be a real big ,"boo-boo", (that was his terminology) and that ,"Engineers", had been designing the bride for many years...
So who can tell me...WHERE IS THE AIRFLOW, supposed to go, if not through the DECKS of the new BRIDGE???
Preferrably someone who knows about engineering.
