Wow, lucky there was light traffic on it at the time.
Are you familiar with the legendary original Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington state, Fash? It was known as Galloping Gertie due to its poor design, and did have a spectacular collapse in 1940, less than six months after it was opened. No one was killed.

No, I'm unfamiliar with it.
Here's the famous Tacoma Narrows .. no one killed
Since built it rolled an amount varying with wind strength ... earning it its name from some expression common at the time ... then only 6 months old it got wind that was more it could survive
