The same reason the millennium bridge broke- feet landing at the same time will cause the bridge to sway one way and then when the other foot comes down the weight is transfered so the pressure causes the bridge to sway the other way eventually causing a disaster (only works with some types of bridges so don't get your hopes up) -I think p.s I'm only in yr 7 at school so I'm not entirely sure
The British soldiers who died during the Battle of Rude Bridge were buried by local residents and fellow soldiers. After the battle, the bodies were often interred in makeshift graves in the area. Community members took part in the burial process, demonstrating the impact of the conflict on local populations. Specific records of the individual burials may vary, as many were conducted under chaotic conditions.
King Harald Hardrada did not participate in the Battle of Hastings; instead, he fought at the Battle of Stamford Bridge shortly before. At Stamford Bridge, Hardrada led an estimated force of around 10,000 soldiers. The Battle of Hastings occurred later in 1066, where William the Conqueror faced King Harold II of England.
Harold was quick to take decisions. he made many mistakes and lead him to bad luck. one of them were to wait for a while instead of just assuming!And just to top of all the bad luck in mid battle Williams archers started firing up penertrating Harolds wall ain't that just dandy.
Pegasus bridge was on the left of the allied invasion and so its capture prevented the Germans counterattacking into the allied flank. it also allowed troops advancing from the bridge to reach and relive the paras attacking the mereville batteries.
because he did you noobs XD
None because cars are not allowed to pass on it anymore
Soldiers and bands break step so as not to reinforce the fundamental vibration frequency of the bridge. For an example of wind reinforceing the fundamental frequency look up the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
the bridge of sighs is an arch bridge and a pedestrian bridge. it is an arch bridge because of its arch shape. its a pedestrian bridge (or foot bridge) because only pedestrians are allowed to travel on it, no cars.
Yes it is used every day for crossing the bridge.

Harmonics. Most bridges are strong enough to support the weight of soldiers marching in lock step, but the constructive vibrations still hasten the need for repairs. Harmonic vibrations induced by the wind brought down the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, "Galloping Gertie."
The soldiers on the bridge are motionless and quiet because Peyton is experiencing a vivid hallucination of escaping and reuniting with his family. In reality, he has been captured and is about to be hanged, leading to a surreal moment of stillness as his mind processes the impending events.
Saxon and Viking worriers
Horatius and two other soldiers Horatius and two other soldiers
The constant left, right, in unison, like a beating drum, can set up a resonance and make the bridge sway or fail.
