Leon Moisseiff: a “Great” Jewish Communist Engineer |

Leon
Moisseiff was the engineer who designed the famous “Galloping Gertie” bridge
in Tacoma, Washington. |
|

|
“The Tacoma
Narrows Bridge was one of the most spectacular failures in the history of
engineering…The roadway of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge undulated dramatically
during construction and continued to behave abnormally for months after it
was opened to traffic in 1940. The
bridge, which came to be known as Galloping Gertie, drew thrill seekers who
wanted to experience the drive-on roller coaster. On the day of its collapse the bridge’s
roadway gave fair warning of its final fling, and it was closed to traffic before
conditions got too dangerous. The last
spectacular motions of the roadway being twisted to destruction were recorded
on newsreel film even as engineers were trying to understand the phenomenon
of its aerodynamic instability with a scale model. The film of the last minutes of the Tacoma
Narrow Bridge is a classic.” Henry
Petroski, To Engineer is Human, 1982, p. 164. |
