The act of bridge building has changed the course of the world. Without bridges we wouldn’t be able to cross large bodies of water that previously prevented us from growing as a nation and expanding into worlds we once thought was held back from us. The construction of a bridge does more than link two pieces of land together. It exemplifies the notion that we will not be held back by the power of mother nature. While also changeling us to expand into realms through creativity and reason. The construction of a bridge must be done through the application of math, science and morals. Never cutting corners due to money and personal interest, which sometimes can result in a deadly disaster.

The foundation of any item being built is immensely important. After Eldridge realized this major problem he insisted that the foundations be built from his original plans. And the rest of the bridge should be constructed through Moseff’s. The mashing of the two bridge designs was not clear thought out idea. The two engineers differ vastly on a number of topics on how the bridge should be built. And the prime cost of each blue print correlates perfectly with this phenomenon. A 5-million-dollar difference is a big gap and speculates that different material would have been used by the two engineers. Material is a major factor in the assemblymen of anything across the board especially a bridge. That distinct price gap only meant that the manufacture of something that should have never been mashed together to begin …show more content…
But it shocked the engineering community across America. This can coincide with the Ashtabula train disaster even though the Ashtabula disaster was 100 times more deadly than the Tacoma narrows bridge collapse. They both fell due to economic bargaining and distasteful engineering work. The support beams from the Ashtabula horror were speculated to have air pockets from cheap unrefined steel. Which eventually fell when the bridge could no longer support it self along with the harsh winter conditions. Its unfortunate their because approximately 92 men, women and children were
