Maybe it’s just me, but that amount of water + the boardwalk going through it all makes this absolutely terrifying. Awe-inspiring to be sure, but I’m not sure I’d want to go out there.
Sounds like you have a healthy respect for the sheer power of water.
It should be terrifying. Growing up next to a large river with lots of mountains taught me that the real danger is below the water. One (or many) large tree stumps at the wrong angle, and that bridge is gone in no time. There is no reason to experience all of this on a bridge.
These people are placing a LOT of faith in engineering…
I’ve seen way too many videos like this that do not have good endings… you couldn’t pay me to cross that.
It’s one of the reasons I hate seeing disaster videos banned for disturbing content. They are a way to learn from others’ mistakes, so I hope to make better judgment calls one day if I ever need to.
That’s gonna be a no for me
How does one even build something like that? I’m guessing the water is usually a bit calmer, but still must have been hard to sink pillings into.
You divert the river upstream, build your structures, then let the water back.
