World's 10 Scariest Bridges by purplesummer(f): 12:19am On Jan 22, 2015 |
These bridges are utterly bewildering. Why were they even built? Has anyone ever crossed them? And why are two of them in France? The good news is, despite them being utterly traumatizing to look at, let alone cross, none of them is in Nigeria ![]() Go on, take a look at the world’s most terrifying bridges… http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/02/10-terrifying-bridges-that-will-make-you-squirm-4716590/ 1. Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan Known as the world’s most dangerous bridge, this walkway crosses Borit Lake in Pakistan and looks absolutely hideous. Not only that, but an older, tattier one hangs next to it – as if a sign of what might happen whilst you cross the Hussaini. Splendid. 1 Like 1 Share

2. Canopy Walk, Ghana This bridge lies within Kakum National Park and is the only canopy walkway in any national park in Africa. It connects several treetops and allows visitors to view endangered animals including forest elephants and the Diana monkey. 1 Like 1 Share

3. Langkawi Sky Bridge. Kedah, Malaysia Built in 2004, this pedestrian bridge is 700 metres above sea level. Good. The fabulous news is that it closed as of January 2014 and may never open again. Thankfully, your best friend can now not try and egg you on into walking across it… 1 Like

4. Mount Titlis, Switzerland The highest suspension bridge in Europe, thanks to it’s staggering 3,000 metre height, the Titlis Cliff Walk Bridge is located in the Alps. It opened in 2013, is designed to withstand snow storms and extreme winds (apparently it’s super safe) and offers spectacular views 1 Like 1 Share

5. Vitim River Bridge, Russia Only a handful of people have ever crossed this bridge and survived, and they have their own Facebook page, obvs. Why is it so scary? It’s iced over for most of the year, isn’t wide enough for a car and has no railings. ![]()

6. Millau Viaduct, France This beauty is the world’s highest bridge for a major road, and is in fact taller than the Eiffel Tower. Sheesh. It holds the A7F motorway, which connects Paris to Montpellier and is often marveled as one of the world’s most impressive achievements of all time in engineering.

7. Quepos Bridge, Costa Rica When you first Google this, you’ll see someone has named it ‘The Bridge of Death’, which is always a good sign. The bridge looks like it could crumble at any moment, but apparently large trucks drive over it and people survive. Blimey..

8. Puente de Ojuela, Mexico The only functioning remainder of Ojuela, a mining settlement in Mexico which is now a ghost town, the bridge was designed by the same people as the Brooklyn Bridge. Pretty cool, no? What a nice rickety structure.

9. Aiguille du Midi Bridge, France This bridge is perched on top of a nice high mountain the Alps. Luckily, the bridge is short, but you’ll still have to take a cable car 9,200ft up just to reach it. Ooh. 1 Like

10. Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado, USA This tourist attraction was the highest bridge in the world until 2001, and also has a park, crammed with other tourist hits such as zoos and rides, attached to it. A wild fire destroyed a large part of the attraction in 2013, although it is expected to full re-open in the summer of 2014.

So canopy walk that doesn't take me up to fifteen minutes to complete is now termed "dangerous"? I think Kakum National Park management are seeking cheap recognition with this listing. For the records,there are no elephants there. I had to lodge in their tree houses overnight in the search for elusive elephants twice! But then again,it is a fun experience. ![]() |

purplesummer: I did the canopy walk in Kakum National Park back in 2009. Was soooooooo scary. The tree top stops helps to calm your nerves before you continue. And to get to this canopy walk na die! We walked for like an hour in a forest - like mountain climb. It was tiring, but fun! When we came down, I made a T - shirt with my photo on it with the inscription , "I survived the walk-way" ![]() ![]() |

tswitch:Lol. You faulted everything. |
Re: World's 10 Scariest Bridges by tswitch: 9:42pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
purplesummer: Hahaha Not intentionally though. I have been there a couple of times and actually very familiar with their "activities". I just pointed out that it was a PR stunt ........ Will still be there when I get a few free days this year so you can see it ain't really fault finding. |
