"The Yuntaishan glass bridge in Central China’s Shiniuizhai National Geological Park had become quite the tourist draw when it opened Sept. 20. Aptly named the Haohan Qiao Bridge or Brave Men’s Bridge in English, holidaymakers rushed to cross the 980-foot-long span that sits between two cliffs and rises 600 feet above a canyon.

But on Oct. 5, something went terribly wrong. Tourists, reporting on Chinese social media, said they heard a crack and everyone rushed to get off the bridge."

"Staff at the Yuntaishan resort confirmed that the bridge had developed a crack – blamed they said on someone dropping a thermos onto the path"

What do you expect from something that was made in China?

I've heard about living in glass houses, but crossing glass bridges is crazy.

Well, then... completely understandable. You obviously can't foresee someone dropping a blunt object on the bridge.

The bottom of my phone is shattered so when I was scrolling up and the pics first came onto my screen I was like "wow, that's bad!" then realized it was just my screen.

Third crack in a week. That bridge might not be safe.
