Would you walk on a glass bridge? In case you're on the adventurous side, there's one in Vietnam declared by the Guinness World Records as the world's longest bridge of its kind.
The bridge is about 492 feet above ground, measures 2,073 feet long, and has a glass bottom. It is said to be strong enough to hold 450 people at a time. Engineers recently drove an SUV over it to test its strength.
The glass-bottomed walkway is a joint collaboration between local tourism authorities and a French construction company. The goal, they say is to boost tourism to the area since the pandemic shut down its borders to international visitors.
I don't know about you, but I'm good.
