While the Tacoma Narrows Bridge solved a problem, it did not do so for long. The bridge was not durable and could have caused harm to people on or near the bridge at the time it collapsed.
The first Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington crossed over a strait in Puget Sound. It was opened in July 1940. The bridge collapsed in November 1940.
The bridge collapsed due to an aero-elastic flutter caused by strong winds. The bridge started oscillating at great speed and eventually fell. The bridge collapse had lasting effects on science and engineering.

It's a great tree for small properties because you only need one to produce fruit. Pluots are similar fruits. ... The seeds from the cross-pollinated fruit produce a different type of tree that has some characteristics of both trees.
Viruses do not possess any machinery necessary for the purpose of their reproduction.
They only possess their genetic material enclosed within a capsid structure.
The capsid is constituted of glycoproteins.
They completely depend upon the components and organelles of the host cells whom they infect to help them carry out their reproduction process.
After infecting a host cell, the viruses hijack all the machinery and components of the host cell and use them for the purpose of transcribing their genetic material (DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid) to produce the virus-specific mRNAs (messenger Ribonucleic Acid).
These mRNAs are further translated into virus-specific proteins using the host-specific Ribosomes. These virus-specific proteins are required for replicating the viral genetic material and producing the capsid structure.
The virus-specific proteins and glycoproteins are synthesized by utilizing the raw materials from the host cells.
Transcription is the process by which an enzyme called RNA polymerase or DNA dependent RNA polymerase copies the protein coding region of the DNA (gene) in the form of an RNA sequence (mRNA).
The synthesis of the mRNA happens in the 5' to 3' direction. This mRNA is further recognized and converted into the amino acid sequence with the help of the Ribosome.
The amino acid sequence folds to give rise to the protein.
