Some residents of a Chinese town should cross such a dangerous bridge everyday.
And it is not only its horrible condition, it is the very construction of the bridge that is really weird.
This guy is nuts! Look at what he’s doing on his free time. Not for the ones who have vertigo!
His wife left him and filed for divorce, except that she prohibited her ex-husband seeing his four-year old daughter.
He did not find anything better than to take his little girl and go jump off a bridge.
After two hours of negotiations the rescuers managed to take them from the bridge, though it was done with difficulty.
As they say, all’s well when all ends well. But the number of such suicidal attempts in China is frightening.
I don’t know what made this guy to get on that bridge, but he did quite a show out there.
More about it after the jump.
The construction of the Colorado River Bridge over Hoover Dam continues and the opening is planned in 2010.
It is a real mega construction, the total length of the bridge will be 579 meters and the height will be 256 meters above the Colorado River.
The bridge will give a magnificent view on the dam and will be open not only for motorists but for pedestrians too.
I have an impression that it happens all the time...
This incident happened in Guangzhou, China.
A man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge was pushed by passer-by!
Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams, so he pushed the guy over the edge. Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said. Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.
Here’s how they do to build big parts of bridges.
What did really astonish me is the Monster Truck that transports it all!
The day before yesterday we had one picture from this series. I’ve been thinking a lot about how this could happen? And then, I found all the pictures of this accident. The answer was easy.
On this slight slope the truck couldn’t turn and crashed into a concrete guardrail and started falling down. It was a real miracle that the truck actually hung on the railing and didn’t fall.
