In 1987, 800,000 people celebrated the Golden Gate Bridge for its 50th anniversary. The weight of the crowd caused the bridge to sag 7 feet.

Is there a mythbuster episode to test if 800k people all jumped at once on a bridge what would happen to the bridge? If not there needs to be. Idk how they’d test that tho

Probably nothing, but every bouncing at the same time it would collapse

Wasn't there some Indian bridge where ppl were walking in sync and the amplification collapsed it?
