Scotland’s History: The Tay Bridge Disaster

New study sheds more light on what caused Millennium Bridge to wobble Pedestrians don’t necessarily need to synchronize their gaits to cause shaking.

The team ran numerous software simulations on a model of the Millennium Bridge and concluded that the bridge goes unstable simply by pedestrians trying not to fall over. The U.S. and British researchers claim to have found a better explanation for the wobble of London’s River Thames Millennium When the London Millennium Bridge opened on June 10, 2000, the small sway of the bridge caused the pedestrians to synchronize their steps in hope of off-setting the swaying.

This theory, attributed to the late Dr. Peter Lewis, senior lecturer in the Department of Materials Engineering at the Open University, claims that
