Glass Suspension Bridge Makes the Walkers Terrifying

Suspension Bridge made out of glass built up by China engineers in 980 feet long and 600 feet high above canyon. The Haohan Qiao Bridge connected between two cliffs, positioned at the Shiniuizhai National Geological Park in southern China. Engineers said the glasses are safe with three-quarters of an inch thick and strong enough to counter against bending and shattering. It is also said that glasses made out of material 25 times stronger than ordinary glass. The bridge construction supported by steel framed below glasses to keep travelers safe even if the glasses broken, they would not fall through. (BC01/FO/02/Oct/15)
