The Chinese have been building lots of glass bottomed bridges and walkways, all of them above deep chasms.
One bridge got hit by a windstorm and the windstorm won.
Yes, that's a tourist hanging onto the hand rails.

The man was later taken to hospital where he has been receiving psychological counselling following the ordeal.

Hopefully for that person their social credit score is good and they pass for Han-Chinese.

I notice you left out the part where the US designers relied on changes made by female team leaders.

Linda Figg, CEO of Figg Bridges, explained in an interview with Founders Club why the company’s slogan is “Creating Bridges as Art.”

An article by The Squawker published 12 days prior to the tragedy explained, MCM had allowed senior-ranking female employees to prioritize aesthetics over safety. Leonor Flores says her number one priority when building bridges is to make sure they look pretty. Nothing else matters,”

When I was younger, I would regularly have nightmares about shite like that happening to me. I’ve always been terrified of heights/high bridges.

Not sure where that lie came from or why it continues to get posted as truth.

It was advertised as being designed by an all female team. Nobody said the company was all-female
