 China opens record breaking 4,000 ft long Bridge‏_001

Interesting pictures and a scary little tale at the end.

Aizhai Bridge in Hunan province is 336 m (1,102 ft.) high and has a 1,176 m (3,858 ft.) span. It connects two traffic tunnels in the mountains, cutting the time needed to traverse the canyon from 30 minutes to 1 minute. Construction took five years. Work finished at the end of last year, making it the world’s longest and highest suspension bridge.  Note that the person below above is 1,102 feet above the ground and is sweeping the dirt off this twenty first century Engineering marvel with a broom that was designed centuries ago and has no safety line.

    That's amazing.... You know what else is amazing the list at the end of the link.

    China controls or has it's paws on a lot of stuff... Like this one:

    # China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.

    That LIST is scary!

      My heat can't keep up and changed to emergency which costs more of course. Very pretty outside with a blanket of white and mostly ice. Snow tomorrow AM so should be fun. Have a snowball battle on the beach! Let's see, a beer in the left hand and a snowball in the right. :)
