Have you ever looked down from your flat or from a building with atleast 10 floors?? No !! Well, of course everyone has the fear to see down. But have you ever felt how could it be when you are nearly on the top of world ?? Forget the aeroplanes, where you just can sit but here is a place where you can get a tingling sensation with safety to your life !! Its the Glass Bridge.
Glass Bridge is suspended about 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon . It can withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds). The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles.
More than one million pounds of steel got into the construction of the Grand Canyon SkyWalk!!!!!
