This is a fascinating bridge to anyone sho has ever sat through a lecture on simple harmonic motion in an introductory physics class.  A pattern of oscillation was induced by a sustained wind of 40 mph through the narrow valley in which it was located.

Thank you, Jordan.  Y'know, we have this, plus the sinking bridge in PeWi's comment above, which I've found was the Hood Canal bridge sinking in 1979.  Then in 1990 we have I-90 sinking, pictured here:

I'm starting to get the idea that we in Washington state might not have the best bridge builders in the world.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
