About the engineering iron ring: it was believed to be made of the iron of the collapsed bridge (though it's not). The ceremony where we get it is weird as f*** (you pledge holding a chain and you hit an anvil with a hammer, it has some freemason vibe)... I don't wear mine anymore, I got too fat and it doesn't fit anymore - guess that's why there are still engineering disasters in Canada! 🤷♀️

*Some additional after having read the STRUCTURE article myself:* *The article mentions that the fabricated steel did not meet the specifications, but that's pretty much par for the course on a typical construction project, and the contemporary reports even say that the bridge would have definitely fallen down even if that were not the case. The "7% extra weight is within tolerance" thing really does kind of make sense with typical safety factors of the era and the accuracy with which it is actually possible to estimate the weight of something that complex with just pencils and paper, but that's the thing: this bridge seems to have had a really low factor of safety for the period. This is one item that wasn't really covered in the podcast.* *Modern engineering codes allow much higher maximum stress in tension elements because tension elements are inherently stable, while compression elements will often buckle (i.e. "bow") well before the full strength of the material is developed (using the ever-useful ruler analogy, compare what happens when you push on a ruler at its ends vs. pulling on them really hard). Back in the day, however, engineers were lazy and just used a big factor of safety for everything. This meant that some elements were really under-utilized, but it also usually kept engineers out of trouble in a pre-computer era when it came to complex phenomena like buckling and fatigue. I'm used to seeing allowable stresses of 16,000 pounds per square inch for structures design up into the 1940s or so, when they presumably had better steel than in 1907. I'm not really familiar with the Cooper railroad loadings system like Justin, but for the Cooper E-50 loading that was considered in the original design, the specifications used an allowable stress of 24,000 pounds per square inch. That is definitely in the danger zone for buckling of even modern steels, depending on the slenderness of the part, so unless that was an extremely unrealistic number akin to a bomb going off on the bridge, that is not good. Add onto that the 7% miscalculation of weight and any fabrication errors... as is so often the case, it's not just one thing. It is several all at once.* *A final thing that I probably don't have time to fully explain here is that the article also mentions that the latticing for the compression members of the truss was inadequate. The lattice elements don't hold up any of the weight for the bridge, but they let two skinny elements mutually-support one another. The idea is that you get a really stable box-shaped cross section, but two of the walls are latticed instead of closed, saving weight.* *The Victorian Era was a weird time that I'm not too familiar with in terms of engineering technology, so I don't know whether it's fair to say that these eminent men were incompetent for not realizing something that a I notice at-a-glance with only a few years of experience (in spite of teleworking via KZbin). It's probably worth noting that this all took place only a few decades after a time when the bridge-building industry looked a lot like the tech industry today: a lot of the designs were proprietary, and everyone was just figuring it out as they went. It was in the "more of an art than a science" phase, and a lot of people died. Still, in spite of all the jokes about The Man In The Fancy Coat, do you really prefer today's system, where engineers (and other designers and executives) hide their reputations behind a corporate veil? Maybe we'd be better off if engineers were celebrities working on vanity projects again, with plaques celebrating achievements but also laying blame.*

Back when I drove a motorcycle, the Santa Ana winds could blow me to the next lane over pretty easily so I just looked at the forecasted direction of the wind and then I'd drive on the side of the lane towards the wind and, when it blew me sideways significantly, I'd still only end up on the other side of the lane. Of course, I'd try to beg off going anywhere too. Back when I was driving my first car home from college (I took a test to get the hell out of high school because it started too early in the morning and I was tired of kicking people's asses because they jumped me for being a lesbian in the 90s). So I was 17 then and there was a thunderstorm and some unusually high winds when I was on my way home from the first college I attended. I got off of the freeway because I could tell the winds were getting bad but I ended up driving right into a circulation that was probably just short of technically being a tornado. It tried to flip my small car over so I rolled down all the windows, which helped the car to remain on the ground and I obviously also stopped. Thankfully, I had been practically living in my car for the entire day that I spent at college so the added dirt that blew into my car from the near-tornado didn't make it much dirtier than it already was. I would have been pretty fucked if I had been driving my motorcycle but I got that many years later and, by then, I had learned how to look carefully at the weather before going somewhere (unless I was going to a foreign country in which case it's always worth going).
