7. Volgograd Bridge, Russia

A few months after this bridge opened to the public in 2009, windy conditions caused it to oscillate, setting cars aloft. Some vehicles landed in the opposite lane. Dampers were installed a year later to prevent this issue from reoccurring. Still, it was a hairy situation not soon forgotten by the drivers. The Tacoma Narrows bridge shook similarly just four months after opening in 1940 and wasn't so lucky—it collapsed, but thankfully there were no fatalities.
