Get two dozen friends and jump up and down in concert with each other. Maybe you can hit the resonant frequency of the glass. THAT would be so cool. |

2 edits | But, as I'm sure you know, hitting the resonant frequency of glass would look just a tiny bit different than what we can see happen with the bridge.

And, people doing it with their voice. Maybe get a choir up in the glass boxes.

(youtube clip) people doing it with their voice. Maybe get a choir up in the glass boxes. (youtube clip) But if the glass were going to shatter, that's the frequency it would do it. Remember the Memorex commercials, the wine glass and Ella Fitzgerald? I suspect the resonant frequency of that slab of glass is some 10's of hertz or less. Two dozen obese jumbers stand a chance of seeing the cityscape from every floor level in a very short period of time on their way to street level. |

1 edit | You're right. The frequency would be very much lower.
Wasn't there a second floor of a mall that collapsed not too long ago because of this (just from people walking)? |
