Phenomena which are incorrectly declared as resonance phenomena? In standard college physics text books, high-school books and popular level physics books, the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is often taken as an example of resonance. However a more detailed analysis shows that the collapse was not due to simple resonance (see the article by Billah and Scanlan and Wikipedia). 
Now my question is, whether there are further examples from mechanics, which are often incorrectly or oversimplified declared as examples of resonance phenomena (for example in physics text books)?
Edit:
I should add, that the definition usually given in textbooks is the following: 
Consider a mechanical system which can be described by a differential equation like
$\frac{d^2}{d t^2}x(t) + 2 \rho \frac{d}{d t} x(t) + \omega_0^2 x(t) = f(t) $
where $f(t) = f_0 \cos(\omega t)$. 
Then for example the amplitude or the energy of the system as function of $\omega$ has a maximum near $\omega_0$. In this case one speaks of resonance of the system.
 A: looking at the link you gave, I think it is just a problem of name convention and has nothing to do with oversimplifications.
It was indeed ruled out that the reason of the failure was not due to a resonance phenomenon called the Kármán vortex street,

a phenomenon arising in fluiddynamics with a certain resonance frequency, called the Strouhal frequency. However, if you look a little further you find that the cause for failure was due to aeroelastic flutter. According to the wikipedia article 

Flutter is a self-feeding and potentially destructive vibration where aerodynamic forces on an object couple with a structure's natural mode of vibration to produce rapid periodic motion. Flutter can occur in any object within a strong fluid flow, under the conditions that a positive feedback occurs between the structure's natural vibration and the aerodynamic forces.

So, it is a kind of periodic process, driven by an excitation (here aerodynamic force) causing an energy flow into an eigenmode of the system possibly leading to destruction.
I think there is no problem calling this a resonance unless you give a very strict definition of such a process.
