Why did the west gate bridge fall down?

Answer 1

The Golden Gate is the entrance into San Francisco harbor. It got its name from the orange-gold rocks that it is composed of. It has never failed.

A bridge was later built across the bay at the Golden Gate, so of course, that bridge was named, "Golden Gate Bridge". It has never failed, either.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge failed, though, due to strong wind making it swing faster and faster (Aeroelastic flutter) until it broke into pieces. This bridge was a suspension bridge with towers, similar to the Golden Gate Bridge. This bridge was designed by the same Engineer as the Golden Gate Bridge.

When the Tacoma Narrows Bridge came down, the authorities in San Francisco undertook a quick project to brace each end of the Golden Gate Bridge to keep it from fluttering in the wind.
