Who’s got #Wanderlust? How about an all-glass bridge – that cracked!
Talk about a walk with a nice view! Can you imagine going across THIS?
Only one problem: it CRACKED! That’s right, this amazing suspension bridge in Jiaozuo City, central China’s Henan Province, is made of glass – and it cracked!
Here’s what Huffington Post reported:
“As I looked below me, I realized that the glass panel had cracked,” a man named Li Donghai posted on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, after the incident, according to Shanghaist. “I’m not sure what caused the crack, but there were people screaming that very moment and I yelled, ‘It’s shattered! It’s really shattered!’ before pushing aside all the people in front of me to make my escape.”
See the video of the bridge here:

Whoa! It’s so easy to trust tourist attractions like that.
That man sounds like the guy yelling, “FIRE!” in a movie theater!

Wow! That would be amazing. Have you ever been to Tahiti with their glass bottom hotel huts over the ocean? Right up your alley.

What a place! I remember going out or dinner in Bora Bora, and there was no menu because dinner was whatever the fishermen caught that day. And, the fish was ‘cooked’ by marinating it in lime juice. Best mahi-mahi ever!

We had a similar experience in Bali…sat on little plastic chair as the water lapped our feet and had lobster and fish caught that day, cooked over smoking coconut husks…came with white rice and an ice cold beer…total cost $19

Oh, the memories! Smoking coconut husks. Ah! Did you see a sandbar turning pink as the sun set? Great memories, John, especially in the dead of a New England winter and Covid.

I would love to have walked on that glass bridge. Imagine the photo opportunities! The crack is very worrying though.
Best wishes, Pete.
