why I cannot load the two same videos?

    <h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">
      <video src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls />

      <video controls>
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.ogg" type="video/ogg">
      </video>


    </div>

You should embed your video using only one of the two possible ways. If you look at your code using Google Dev Tools, you shall notice that Google Chrome sees your second video tag as a child element of the first and adding another closing video tag.
