The Royal Gorge Bridge is not "969 feet above sea level." The height of the bridge is about 960 feet above the Arkansas River (depending on water level). Being in Colorado, the elevation at the Royal Gorge Bridge is 5,965 feet above sea level. The script writer and narrator need to learn the difference between height and elevation. The same mistake is made in the description of the Trift Suspension Bridge in Switzerland.
Scary ? Dangerous ? I see beautiful views , clear skies , and plenty of people with smiles on their faces. I wish I could go on an extended journey to each one starting right now !
I've driven across the Mackinac bridge, believe me, the wind blows harder than 30mph crossing it sometimes!! I've crossed it in 40 to 45 MPH winds! They actually had escorts to lead trucks across! 40 to 45 MPH winds, & add snowing at the same time! One lane each direction is actually steel grating, you can look down through the grating to the water below!!!
Dangerous is the wrong word, scary is correct. I've been across the Capilano Suspension Bridge in north Vancouver. It is certainly scary. High, narrow and it sways a bit. But it is not dangerous as long as you don't do something stupid.
The Mackinac Bridge (pronounced "Mack-uh-naw" NOT "Mackinak") is NOT dangerous! It is well-built and well-maintained. I've crossed it many, many times with no incident. The views of the Straits of Mackinac are beautiful.
It's pronounced Mackinaw, not Mackinack. And it is no more dangerous that a creek bridge. It is a beautiful sight, and the sunset view from it is gorgeous.
There is a big difference between "scary" and "dangerous". Other than the Pakistan and Myanmar wooden bridges, these bridges are not structurally dangerous. If the roadway suspension and concrete bridges you show were truly "dangerous", they'd either have collapsed, or been closed off, by now.
it takes a tiny bit away from its effect that the narrator calls every single bridge listed (one of) the most scary AND dangerous. It is suffice for about half of them to just call them scary ~ and scary does not necessarily equal dangerous, of course
The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado is a tourist trap. It does not serve a through route, but rather ends at a cul-de-sac at one side of the bridge. The Capilano suspension bridge in British Columbia is also a tourist trap.
I've been on the Capilano suspension bridge. It's not scary at all. It's actually very sturdy and wide enough for at least two people to pass each other in fact
The entire video is click bait BS. None of these bridges are dangerous unless you climb over the rail and jump. A more appropriate title would be: "Some scary Bridges"
@@richardvinsen2385 then you should know the facts about lessie. from the Michigan state police. lessie was bad driver. she was speeding. the mackinaw bridge was a good bridge for its time and still is a good bridge. it is the one the best safe 5 miles in mi. i am a lot older then 56
Well this was just WONDERFUL FactsVerse!!! Just WONDERFUL... Now you have given some unstable folks out here just thinking about planning a vacation with the one they are trying to literally get rid of. These bridges are perfect back drops for the Perfect Murder😹😹😹😹
"only the bravest of the brave are willing to attempt to cross this bridge" Yeah, that's why I see Tina in her mom jeans with little Patrick and Sara waving back at dad from the middle of the bridge. LOL.. Jeez, man. I saw 8 year olds walking across that thing by themselves in the very pictures you supplied in the video.
I’ve been on the Mackinac bridge so many times I can’t even count. The most scary part is that you can drive on a metal grates and look down and see the water! Oh and the fact that it swings and people have been thrown off the bridge by the wind. It’s definitely a must see bridge if your in northern Michigan!
I've crossed the Seven Mile Bridge in the FL Keys more times than I can count. The view of the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Gulf of Mexico to the West is breathtaking on clear days, which are most of the days. The only dangerous thing about this bridge is hurricanes. You don't want to be on this bridge (or any other bridge, highway, or byway for that matter) when the wind is blowing 100+ MPH. Other than that, it is perfectly safe.
take it from a native michigander: despite the spelling, the correct pronunciation is "mackiNAW", not "mackiNACK", although don't ask me why. probably has to do with the fact that americans are generally so ignorant of other languages and cultures that we routinely mess up the pronunciation and turn the words and names originated from other languages into something completely different.
I'd suggest these are SCARY bridges to cross, not dangerous - that would hint at a construction or design flaw that resulted in accidents and I don't hear of any deaths from these bridges in the commentary...
I did hear about there being a lot of accidents on the longest straight road. I think its named, road to the clouds. PEOPLE tend to fall asleep from boredom, no turns, just monotonous.
5:33 the bridge is only 1043 ft I know a bridge that is 12000 feet the Akashi kaikyo Bridge Japan is the longest suspension bridge in the world but the Mackinac Bridge suspension span is not longer than it but the bridge itself is longer but there's a lot of land bridge
No Lake Pontchartrain causeway? 7 Mile Bridge ain't got nothin on 24 miles of open water. It's literally the longest continuous bridge over water in the world, once you get close to the middle you can't even see land on either side. At least a dozen people have died from their cars running off the bridge since 1994 and there's still a controversy because the guardrails on part of it are very low despite the obvious danger. I think the most recent one was when a guy drowned in late 2016 after his tire apparently blew out and his truck went right over the guardrail. There's video of it from the bridge's cameras and it's very chilling, especially since something like a tire blowing out can happen to anyone at any time. I've had two separate blowouts while on a busy highway and it's terrifying enough just trying to avoid hitting the other cars around you when you're fishtailing all over the place, so that happening on a bridge is my absolute worst nightmare.
I hate when "professional" narrators screw up the pronunciation of "Mackinac". Yes, it looks like it should end in a hard "c", but that's wrong. It's pronounced "Mackinaw". As for being dangerous...more people died building the bridge than have died crossing it. In it's 50+ years, only one vehicle has actually gone over the side. Thank goodness!
The bridge in Colorado is do neat! I like the way the boards pop up a little bit when car drive it and I'm walking it the spaces between the boards are a little scary for some people. The boards are what the bridge is make out of.
The Makinac Bridge is not dangerous. I live in northern Michigan, and I've made many trips over that bridge in all four seasons; the view is great, and at times you can see a few very large great lake freighters below you; really cool!
The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado is awesome. If you ever get the chance walk over it. At one time you used to be able to drive over it. Very strange Arkansas River in Colorado.
I don't trust someone who doesn't know that "dangerous" is not the same thing as "scary". Prove they're dangerous by giving the death stats. Just one example: Capilano Suspension Bridge is safer than safe -- it gets zillions of crossings every year. Also, learn how to pronounce Capilano.
I cross the bridge in Maryland all the time and never thought twice about it.
These look pretty safe to me. Stabilizing cables, hand rails, precision engineering.
Yeah you're right, that Pakistan bridge looked totally safe made of what looked liked deteriorating sticks
Who ever made this video does not know the meaning of Dangerous.
Dan·ger·ous: able or likely to cause harm or injury.

this winter the recorded wind gust at 72-73 MPH..now there's a a "butt clincher"
I have a fear of heights, enough to cry a river, but I guess I'll just build a bridge and get over it.
Ayase Yukiya Ha, ha...I see what you did there.
I live in Florida, no one ever needed to check the weather or mysteriously disappeared going to key west here. What a sack of crap.
Agreed...I know more people scared to cross the Sunshine Skyway Bridge than 7 mile.

Lee Bordenet yeah I live in Vancouver too
The correct pronuniciation of Mackinac is "Mackinaw".
Why does he keep on saying dangerous even for secure road bridges? They are only scary.
The Mackinac Bridge (pronounced "Mack-uh-naw" NOT "Mackinak") is NOT dangerous! It is well-built and well-maintained. I've crossed it many, many times with no incident. The views of the Straits of Mackinac are beautiful.

I get why these bridges "look" dangerous. It would be nice if you included some information about "WHY" they're dangerous as well as some statistics.
Yeah, the narrator sucks!!!!!}!
He did explain why they are dangerous, even though it could also be people being too scared to cross them.
@@JZJ7777 Dude... 4 years ago.

That one in Myanmar, isn’t on the ocean. He mentioned “it’s on the ocean .” It’s actually on the lake.”
If they are well-built and well-maintained, they are not "dangerous," just "scary" if one is afraid of heights.
The Mackinack bridge is near my Grandparents old house, and we cross over it every year. Wooooowwww.
Capilano bridge isn't shaky. It's actually much less shaky than you'd expect it to be, even on windy days.
Also, it's NEVER that empty
I’ve driven on the 7 mile bridge so many times, it’s not scary at all, not even when it rains but obviously it will be when there’s a hurricane
The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado is a tourist trap. It does not serve a through route, but rather ends at a cul-de-sac at one side of the bridge.
The Capilano suspension bridge in British Columbia is also a tourist trap.
I'm finding it hard to see how most of these bridges are so "dangerous"..

Moss Limbayter the
Huseini bridge was really dangerous. I visited it. So so dangerous
Any bridge with missing wood planks/pieces is the most dangerous and SHOULD be avoided.
Always has to be a complainer in the crowd.

Bridge 1: "most dangerous and scary bridges in the world"
Bridge 2: "most scary and dangerous bridges in the world"
In the video, The endless warnings and fears and their repetition is terrible...more terrible than crossing the bridges themselves
Omg he pronounced Mackinac wrong!!!! TRIGGGEREDDDDDDD
'Vehircles are not allowed to cross this bridge, becuase it's only large enough to carry people.' - Glad he cleared that one up...
I have crossed the Mackinac Bridge many times in his comments are totally unwarranted.

It's scary, because of the toll cost. In my opinon at least

His pronunciation of "Mackinack" is dangerous, though.

Next dangerous bridges video that you do you should look into the bridge that contacts PEI to the mainland of Canada
'Only the bravest of the brave are willing to cross this (Swiss) bridge", shortly after a shot of a kid walking across.
Who knows? Maybe it was a brave kid.
Dangerous and scary are two different things! This is scary bridges!
Also, on the Mackinac bridge, instead of concrete there is metal grates.
The metal grates actually make the bridge safer.
Been across some of these, the rest are on my bucket list now 👍
This bridge is one of the most dangerous bridges in the world . He said this to every one of them
Scary does not mean dangerous.
Seems like they showed pictures of 5 different bridges on that last one!!!
#3 looks like the same bridge that was used in "The Temple of Doom"
Heights I’m ok with, but try and get me in an elevator - no way, I’m claustrophobic
Very interesting, thank you!
Makes it sound like you could die at any moment if you use any of these bridges. A little over hyped!
There's about 2 actually dangerous bridges in the video. The rest are just there because the uploader confused a fear of heights with danger.
