It started with some Canadian school giving out copper rings made from the rubble of some bridge that collapsed because it was poorly designed, I guess as some sort of memorial and reminder to do better next time.

It's a copper ring that you get if you're Canadian or near-Canadian (read: Minnesota or UP of Michigan). It started with some Canadian school giving out copper rings made from the rubble of some bridge that collapsed because it was poorly designed, I guess as some sort of memorial and reminder to do better next time. I lost mine on a Southwest flight from Albuquerque to San Diego.

Very nice. I was wondering if I got gypped, but not being near Canada it makes sense.

I doubt there was enough metal in the Tacoma Narrows to do the same for US grads; just have to wait for the big one to hit.

Yeah, but Tacoma Narrows has a much better legacy. That video is awesome.
