    Puts you in mind of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940 just before it collapsed.

    Suspension bridges are meant to flex with high winds because if it had spans as large as it had while being stiff in the wind, it could collapse. And if it flexes too much in the wind, it will literally tear itself apart like the old Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

    The bridge was build to be able to bend and shake like that because if it wasn’t able to do that, it would have broken down because of the winds

    That’s the expansion joints making that noise. Those joints are specifically designed to move like that in high winds. If they didn’t move like that, then very bad things would happen to the bridge!
