David Macaulay discusses Brooklyn's famous suspension bridge and the engineer who never saw his biggest project to completion, the Golden Gate Bridge's history and the unique construction that allows it to withstand nature's fury, as well as the Firth of Forth Railway Bridge in Scotland, whose cantilevered design was inspired by a human tragedy. The video also includes a mini-bridge-making activity.
