World’s Scariest Bridges: Swinging in the Breeze

by Max Hartshorne on August 26, 2009

I love the things I find on my RSS feed. Here is a collection of the world’s most dangerous bridges. The winner, says Web Urbanist, is the Hussaini Bridge in Pakistan. It crosses the Borak Lake, which rages beneath its flimsy wooden slats. 

“Moms, dads, grandparents kids all use this hanging bridge daily. Sometimes it breaks, but its unclear who to call for repairs, as if you could get a cellphone signal out in the sticks of Gojal in Northern Pakistan.

Today I spent time in the sun with my son, it was fun and it’s great to see how charged up and enthusiastic he is about his chef-training that begins on Sept 8.
