They had a daredevils dream job, and I’m sure most of them honestly enjoyed it.. till they fell..

Galloping Gertie, so named by the bridge builders because of how much they witnessed it flexing during construction. IIRC, the lead engineer warned that it would fail one day, but the state pushed forward anyway. The engineer set up a shack at the end of the span with a camera to capture the failure, which provided most of the footage in this clip.

Just like bombing a place is un-intentional urban redevelopment.

Dont understand why these don’t get more attention. They’re really good. Thanks for the work and sharing them.

I still think this is some of the creepiest footage Ive ever seen...

All physics books all over the world show pictures of this bridge to illustrate the resonance principle. Science aside, I feel sorry for the dog.

The original footage from the day of the collapse was filmed in color by a camera shop owner who had access to Kodachrome color film. The black and white version came from newsreels which was more widely circulated.....that one was used here for the purposes of this demonstration and to match the rest of the footage.

Outstanding! You deserve a lot more subscribers, you could restore movies like Nosferatu, and many more, I'm really really impressed, best wishes to you

Using AI to upscale colorize a very worn out black & white copy of footage that was originally shot at much higher quality and was in color to begin with? I love a lot of what is done with DeOldify, but this is a strange choice, especially since the original color footage is available. A side by side comparison of the original color footage with a DeOldified copy of a less worn out black & white copy would be interesting to see. It would could show how accurate the tech is.
