No amount of money in the world could ever make me even come close to that bridge.
A Chinese made glass-bottom bridge? What could go wrong?
+god Watch the video. Nothing it seems.
+god yeah just like the great wall?
+god "MADE IN CHINA".....I'd rather pass and enjoy the video, even if I was in China.
Ha it cracked today too
+jonathan reiman HA! cuz some idiot dropped a heavy as Steel mug onto the glass to trigger a fracture.
At least the glass didnt SHATTERED from contact with a mere Glass Bottle like the walkway in London's Tower Bridge (CNN Headline Nov. 2014:
Dropped beer bottle shatters glass walkway at London's Tower Bridge).
Or cracked from just the weight of the people like the Willis Tower bridge in Chicago (Daily Mail headling May 2014:
Terror at 1,353ft: They said it was unbreakable but
this was the horrifying moment Chicago tower block's 103rd floor glass
viewing platform CRACKED under tourists' feet).
It literally took me two minutes to find these two. I'm sure there are more cracked glass incidents from other countries as well.
For this Chinese glass bridge, the walk way is designed with multiple layers glass and safety bars. Only the top layer was damaged. All the other layers are untouched. And the top layer is meant to be replace eventually since its expected to be scratched and all. At no point was anyone in danger.
But of course, typical western trolls/propaganda media/news outlets blow every little thing up it can to use in it anti-china smear campaign. It really shows their desperation. And its even more pathetic when they get call out for having worst shit. HAHAHA! I'm laughing, Jonathan, not with you though, but at you.
Nope, not for me, but thanks for increasing my anxiety by 10 fold. Nightmares inbound.
Join my repetitive nightmare, me climbing up the staircase in a tall multi-storey building and stairs starts to fall apart, I'm happy to wake up.
Do it in your nightmares. Try to make your nightmares as scary as possible. Encourage your nightmares. It's the only way to build up courage.
Indeed ❤️👍👍👍😮💨😮💨😮💨
The screeching sound makes the experience even more scary.
Even at night the experience is more scary.
If i even looked on the glass below me i would have a heart attack
Me too!
I’d run across screaming it’s cracking, it’s cracking...
lol!
Man you're crazy asf
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
😂😂😂😂😂.....with your hands on your head😅😅😅😅
Astonishing....how did they build it ?....truly hair raising...an amazing piece of engineering.
I think they made it out of glass, or some kind of see through metal.
They should install hidden speakers that play cracking noises!
When I'm so afraid that I have to crawl, I don't even step on the Bridge.
I’m feeling sick watching this. I’m scared of heights , I always have been
If you have fear of heights, crawling across is the best option but even that wouldn't save you from screaming and crying when you reach the middle of that glass bridge.
Crossing after a rain would be hella sweet😂😂
@@Peter_Sam04 ohh mann i didn't just copy it. I modified it.
@@mirzaftmh okie :3
@@mirzaftmh sorry
Amazing!
@.@ Gorgeous bridge. TY for the vid! This is a close as I want to get to it. (How you even build something like that anyway?) Just wow.
This bridge shouldn't exist. Whoever designed this was a monster.
I'm getting vertigo just watching this.
For anyone who thought this was just cheap thrills - the bridge was expertly engineered & had to be safe, check-out the news for May 10th, 2021
imagine carrying a sledgehammer across that bridge and accidentally dropping it
Thats actually what someone did to test it, he used a sledge hammer to try and break the glass but barley cracked. Even used a car. But its perfectly safe.
Just watching this video makes me hyperventilate.....I COULD NOT do it.....I hate heights..I cant even walk up stairs that when you look down you can see through to the bottom...
My soul left my body
Pour moi Non merci mais c'est vraiment magnifique..
The safer version of the Squid Game glass Bridge.
Wow! No way would I attempt to walk across that bridge😂 It would totally freak me out. I couldn’t even bring myself to walk across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in my country of Wales .
I love that you mentioned that. I went and looked it up as I do with all commented locations and it's like an invitation to travel the world by cell phone!
I noticed NO rails and did not know it's a boat bridge and it really high so don't feel so bad there have been some accidents lately.🎉
@@FirstnameLastname-tp4zw As I blithely started crossing the bridge with some friends one friend said to my husband “she obviously hasn’t read the sign “cross if you dare” I had turned to look at a boat coming up the canal and saw a sheer drop on the other side, It made me feel as though I was suspended in mid air😂😂
Sorry but the squeaking and creaking is by far the scariest part of that bridge lol
Дар речи можно потерять...спасибо хорошо не надо.
So fantastic
Imagine someone almost had a nightmare of them not being on the actual bridge.
The architects and engineers who designed and built this glass-bottom bridge had to make sure the perfect safety of this bridge before they let the visitors/tourists walk on it. The company that was responsible for building this bridge doesn't want to be sued if something happens to the bridge that causes injuries or deaths to visitors. Better safe than sorry.
wow una joya real y hermosa 🎉🎉❤
Que lugar lindo onde é isto.
Love it
I never go over this!!!!!
A run in this bridge at 60000 rpm
Nice
Does that bridge have a weight limit?
Why walk across if your afraid, why get in the bridge to crawl that's crazy.
Glass + bridge = asking for trouble
Increible
Wanderfull
Can vehicle run on this pool??🙄
I wonder, what kind of feeling is it?
uhh.. fearful?
Amazing... but looking very dangerous
Excellent video sir. I am happy to see these bridges and innovatives are appreciable one. Let this Idea spread to all corners of world, so that people avail and unify as human beings.
I just could not😱
I would have heavy chills all over my body merely looking at this not to talk of walking on it.
Imagine that bridge would collapse during an earthquake
Supper
Just don't look down
Part of that bridge (?) collapsed after the glass shattered. Or one of the same design.
The swing sounds alone adds to the anxiety 😂
Amezing 🦅
Where is this
How did it get built?
Szpecą krajobraz.
I just want to know if I can run across it to freak everyone else out.
Even if it breaks there's a steel rod down there😂
Maybe a see through observatory, or portholes along the way, but to make the entire surface out of glass does not seem sustainable. It will require constant cleaning and polishing. Also glass very brittle and you can only make so flexible. . .
I wonder how many people at a time they would allow on that bridge
I would be the same I wouldn't even thinking about going on the bridge no way
It could break at any second
where is the cracking part
It cracks under the feet also --like just trying to cross it is not terrifying enough
This is just a bad idea on so many levels.
Although funny, accidents waiting to happen. Be sure of that.
Also known as the Bifrost !
YES, exactly! LOL
No, thank you.
I dont think i can do this crossing that bridge,but if so a medical staff will accompany me , im senior now😂😂😂
As P.T. Barnum said, There is a sucker born every minute." A big NOPE!
I'm anxious to walk on this glass bridge oneday
Glass is glass and it can break so don’t trust to much😂😂
Russia: fear of hights: we dont do it here
i'd walk across this.
These things need safety harness that you connect to the bars as you go across just incase it breaks
Rope mountain battle war warrior of solider
Нормальная практика для избавления страха высоты.
Big no
There is a video where they try to walk a dog across. The poor dog, but hilarious!!!
This is insanity no way I'm walking on that
I would NEVER walk this bridge, especially after what happened with the Key Bridge in Baltimore!!!
00:57 what is this man saying?
I'd have to crawl across it too, just like that guy at 0:54. 😂
BUT IT CANT BREAK DOWN😊😊😊
Continental melody
I wouldnt do it, but I know people that have zero fear of heights and would walk across that without a thought.
No Thank You.
is it the Chinese Glass they are afraid of?
I would like to see marching band on this bridge😃
T. Sammalar
Wow people are so sa
If this bridge is in India, dare you walking on it?
Mission impossible
Just can't make it ... lol
Hi
NOPE!
I like China and my dreamland place is china
Steve austin theme song plays
That squeaky sound terrifies me. 0_0
Fantastic 😅😅😅
I'd wear a parachute n walk on the that
Ich würde gern mal rübergehen. Sieht Klasse aus. Schade, daß es nicht sowas in Germany gibt.
Is this in rajgir
I guess CCP really wants its citizen to walk with faith on their "transparency". :D
A couple drinks of grey goose and a 12 pack in hand while I cross it... Not a problem.
