The Tacoma Narrows Bridge spanned 2,800 feet. It crashed suddenly on November 7, 1940, the same year it opened, and it actually turned and warped while there were cars still on it. Everybody fled and was safe, except one man, who went on it to save his dog, Tubby. He failed to save his dog, and fled off the bridge. Tubby was the only victim to die from this truly crazy accident.
