People wait for a safety test ceremony of a bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, China, on June 25. A man strikes a hammer against a glass-bottomed bridge during a safety test ceremony, in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, China, on June 25. Supposedly both the longest (1,411 feet) and the highest (984 feet above ground) glass bridge on the planet, the Zhangjiajie bridge completed construction recently in spring 2016 and is apparently able to withstand the weight of 800 people at once. A vehicle filled with passengers drives across a glass-bottomed suspension bridge in Zhangjiajie in southern China’s Hunan province June 25. And so, a brilliant plan was devised: Invite tourists onto a bridge and have them smash it with a sledgehammer.
