There is an article on the mental_floss Blog about a few of the most embarrassing moments in Civil Engineering. Of course the Tacoma Narrow’s bridge is mentioned but also the Citicorp Centre, New York City in 1978, the Millennium Bridge, London in 2000 and Kansai International Airport, Osaka Bay, Japan.
What’s interesting about this article as it provides information on what was learnt and what changed for the better because of it.
