Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China: Man left dangling from bridge after glass breaks
Glass-bottomed bridges are very popular in China. There are over 2,000 glass bridges along with many glass walkways and slides to lure tourists across the country. Pedestrians can enjoy seeing a spectacular view through the glass panels and feel thrilling excitement being on see-through floors, which are built strong enough to sustain the designed weight and impact of falling objects. In fact, they won’t break even if they are hit by an iron hammer. However hard they might be, an unexpected incident will occur and damage the bridge. On May 7, a man was left dangling from a 100-meter-high glass bridge in Jilin province, Northeast China when several glass floor panels were blown away by strong winds. Fortunately, he managed to get back to the cliff without injury. He must have wanted to have an exciting walk over the 100-meter-high valley but got a more thrilling experience than he had expected.
Were those blown-away glass panels broken?
Enjoy reading the article about a scary experience the Chinese man had in a holiday week.
