What does a bad day look like? (Gallopin’ Gertie)

Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse

November 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (Gallopin’ Gertie) was just four months after construction was completed.

Do you think this was a bad day for the engineers/designers of the bridge? And what about the guy who abandoned his car in the middle of the span?
