This video takes it to the other extreme. There was resonance in the bridge collapse. But the resonance was NOT caused by the the wind ALONE. Resonance was the product of both aeroelasticity and wind together. Aeroelasticity alone would not cause the bridge collapse neither.

He forgot to mention flutter IS a kind of resonance.
