BEIJING - China has just opened its first glass-bottomed suspension bridge, and being nearly 600-feet-high and 1,000-feet-long, it definitely isn’t for the faint of heart.
The high-altitude, transparent bridge opened this past Thursday in Zhangjiaje Grand Canyon in central China’s Hunan province, according to Chinese newspaper, the People’s Daily.
The canyon, which is a part of the Shiniuzhai National Geological Park, reportedly inspired the world of James Cameron’s “Avatar,” the China Daily reported, adding that a sky column similar to one seen in the movie, was renamed “Avatar Hallelujah Mountain” in 2010.
this reminds me of the great rivers in Chogoria region, Meru County. before proper bridges were constructed, kulikuwa na mbao moja imewekwa katikati for people to use…that shit was frightening as fuck… ukiangalia chini wewe kwisha plus the sound of the raging waters hitting the cliffs made u say ur last prayers…
its not cowardice, its the fear of heights
(from wiki) Acrophobia (from the Greek: ἄκρον, ákron , meaning “peak, summit, edge” and φόβος, phóbos, “fear”) is an extreme or irrationalfear or phobia of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort.
