On the 1st of July 1940 the worlds 3rd largest suspension bridge was opened to the public but within 3 months would just be a pile of twisted metal and concrete. You might be thinking that it might have been some kind of espionage in the lead up to the US joining the 2nd world war, well if you did you'd be wrong as the cause was a minor design flaw and an unfortunate gust of wind, ok it wasn't as simple as that, but the lessons learnt would influence the every large structure built afterwards.
