Randy W Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) From the People's Daily Facebook - A group of Chinese tourists were left screaming in terror yesterday on the side of a 3,540 ft high cliff after a glass pane on a new transparent walkway suddenly shattered. This U-shaped platform is attached to a cliff face on Yuntai Mountain, Henan Province, and opened to the public on September 20. Authorities have confirmed the incident and closed the tourist attraction for repair works. https://video-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xtp1/v/t42.1790-2/12094601_1020217101363440_178125887_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjQzOSwicmxhIjo1MTIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoidjJfNDI2X2NyZl8yM19tYWluXzMuMF9zZCJ9&rl=439&vabr=244&oh=59e7a3802bb6b62bd668ac171dd795fb&oe=5614C711 This walkway is in Henan province - the bridge is in Hunan.

danb Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Here is a story that I just read about a glass bottom bridge in China. I thinks I prefer the the elevator. Yikes : http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/cracked-chinese-glass-bridge-alarms-tourists/ar-AAfc0bH?li=BBieTUX Danb RW - this is the same one I posted above - it was apparently a stainless steel cup dropped on the glass Edited October 7, 2015 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
