The Millennium Bridge - what caused the wobble?

The Millennium Bridge is the first pedestrian bridge to be built across the Thames in central London for 100 years. Its long awaited opening day in 2000 attracted huge amounts of publicity, but for all the wrong reasons. The bridge was swaying unexpectedly under the feet of the thousands of people crossing it. Project Director Roger Ridsdill-Smith takes us through the process that followed and how the lessons learned have changed bridge design forever.
