I saw this on Facebook with the caption "would you walk across for $1,000,000 dollars?" All I could think of was, "I'd do it for $10,000. Hey, I'll even eat lunch on the bridge." I've never really been frightened of bridges. I mean, you have to think that the engineers developing the bridges did their jobs correctly. Sure, bridges fall, but the odds of it happening are so low that it just seems like a fear that isn't worth having. I can't remember what country it is, or what landmark it is, but I know somewhere in the world that there is a landmark where you go up to the top and you can stand on a glass floor while looking down at the city. I want to say it's Paris? Don't quote me on that.
Yeah though, I think it's a neat idea. People will get used to the glass bridges, and in a few decades we'll probably laugh that we were afraid of bridges like that. Sort of like cars, people thought going that fast would rip you apart or something, now we strive to go even faster. I personally look back and laugh a little bit, I mean we were actually afraid of cars. Now everyone has a car, and that's how I feel these bridge situations are. Our technology and engineers are getting better, so the fear of bridges will probably escape us soon.
