It is hitting a certain frequency thus why it is swaying, however if that was its resonant frequency it would have torn itself apart.

BBC is saying that a vertical support had failed and thus the water was causing it to sway. Other reports are saying it is the wind.

I've seen the Forth Road Bridge Oscillate in high winds, though not like that though.
