Watch the amazing "Gallopin' Gertie" November 7, 1940 video clip. 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge Slender, elegant and graceful, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge stretched like a steel ribbon across Puget Sound in 1940. The third longest suspension span in the world opened on July 1st. Only four months later, the great span's short life ended in disaster. "Galloping Gertie," collapsed in a windstorm on November 7,1940. The bridge became famous as "the most dramatic failure in bridge engineering history." Now, it's also "one of the world's largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains of Galloping Gertie were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect her from salvagers. A dramatic tale of failure and success The story of the failure of the 1940 Narrows Bridge and the success of the Current Narrows Bridge is a great American saga. When Galloping Gertie splashed into Puget Sound, it created ripple effects across the nation and around the world. The event changed forever how engineers design suspension bridges. Gertie's failure led to the safer suspension spans we use today.

The stage is set, the dollar collapse is now imminent. The 2008 recession/depression is going to have hyper inflation and will result in an all out economic collapse.
Some of the footage in this is pre collapse and is hard to find. It gives you an idea why it was named Galloping Gertie since Transverse waves were visible along the span

Outside before the Thunderstorm. It was blistering cold that day. My hands were literally frozen while recording this. A bit purple looking actually. For sure, this will be a day to remember. I was lucky enough to capture the ending pretty well. Here is a photo I took during this day, http://shameshowsguiltiness.deviantart.com/art/the-Heavens-burned-brightly-55791167 Let me know what you think - thanks. Location: Sanger, California. Enjoy.

To most Americans, the Federal Reserve is just another name on their dollar bill. They don't know that this secretive private bank controls America's entire economic system. The Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express. Created with no constitutional authority in 1913, the Fed prints money out of thin air and loans it to the U.S. treasury at interest. This can only lead to one outcome: debt. Currently, the Federal Reserve is printing billions of dollars to bail out Wall Street while destroying the middle class and the dollar. If our country wants a sound and transparent monetary system, we need to phase out the Federal Reserve system giving power back to the U.S. treasury.

Part 2: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=whVSw5X2pVU Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition.

Aljazeera re-aired Max's 2007 prediction of a collapse of the Icelandic economy. While the program aired in August 2007, it was filmed in April 2007. Watch for the scene in the Blue Lagoon in which Max predicts a global Depression to be caused when all these debts driven by low interest rates burst.
The biggest tragedy in golf. Jean van de Velde's collapse at the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999. A double bogey 6 or better was all that seperated the Frenchman from the Claret Jug. He made a 7!!!!!! He lost the resulting 3 way playoff to local hero Paul Lawrie. I uploaded this video as Carnoustie which is currently holding the Open, will always remind me of Jean's antics at the last. I have a blog entry of the tragic event. You can find it here
I wanted to see a cool video off this song. but I dident find one. so I made my own :) enjoy!
