Congratulations to those who built these bridges, but I will never use one. A normal bridge is enough for me thank you. My stomach does not need further agitation going over super bridges.
Guizhou and Yunnan are all mountainous areas. They used to be the poorest areas in China. Now these two provinces are the areas with the highest density of highways and the most bridges in China. Because of the improvement of transportation, these areas have become the areas with the fastest economic growth in China. I have driven almost all those bridges in Guizhou. You don't feel any fear when driving on the bridge because it's just a highway.
When he said "if a person fell off the side, it would take almost 15 seconds to hit the bottom. Thats long enough to realize whats happening, scream with terror, whisper a prayer, and still have time to spare!" that gave me the freaking chills!
Wait ohh yeah just 15 seconds it is. Seeing the vid first time, i heard it as 50 seconds. 15 secs don't seem that cool now, 50 might have been cooler :/ L !
China is the champion when it comes to infrastructure. I am in awe of the amazing progress in China . My hat to all who have been on this journey so China can cater for the needs of all.Thank you for this amazing video. Jose from Australia.
Who’s here after the francis scott key bridge collapse? So similar to the original skyway bridge. All bridge pillars should be protected by dolphins (barriers) 360 degrees around in my opinion.
What surprised me as groups are say the Francis Scott key Bridge is racist as he wrote the national anthem and pushing for the bridge be named after Biden or fly
Wow this just shows how much history repeats itself. The destruction of the sunshine Skyway bridge is so similar to the destruction of the Baltimore Bridge collapsing.
One of the reasons rarely cited as to why Top Luxury videos are addictive is the voice of the narrator. I'm not a native English speaker but I understand everything he says without any difficulty. His voice is clear and manly.
B1M is great nut what I love about this channel is they'll actually give you the Imperial/standard measurements alongside the metric. B1M does a lot of videos about American infrastructure projects but only gives all the measurements in metric, even with a lot of Americans watching.
Yes, as a French dude, I've crossed the Millau Bridge several times, and even if I am very subject to vertigo, it is actually fine to cross it with a car :)
Driven over the Millau bridge a number of times, its a fantastic view & I never felt vertiginous even though its roadway is about 900ft or so above the ground.
@Rose Madrid There is no god, no evidence of god, no-one has ever seen him/her/it & never will. The bible is a complete work of fiction & you might as well read James Bond, just as authentic.
I know what part of China I'll never go to . Man I felt nauseous just watching this . I have major respect for the rest of you who can stomach these bridges. My heroes 🎉
Living in the Tampa area, I've gone over the Sunshine Skyway bridge many times. I also had gone over the old one as a kid about a month before it was destroyed by that ship collision. Not scary to drive over, but a sad history.
As someone who has passed by the Sunshine Skyway bridge multiple times on trips to Tampa/St. Petersburg, i can confirm its kind of scary but not that much.
I grew up crossing the golden gate bridge and the sanfransisco/oakland bay bridge. Both these bridges are hundreds of feet from the water surface and take like five to fifteen minutes from end to end. With earthquakes being so common here it really is scary. There's very little chance of surviving a three hundred foot fall.
One of the bridges over Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans isn't high but it's 26 miles long across the lake. You can't see land on either end for a good bit of the ride. It's not scary , just an amazing feat of engineering.🎉
Yes, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. I have crossed it many times. The choppy waters is a bit alarming. Sailboats looks like miniatures from the Causeway. All in all not a bad ride.
Hats off to all the brave souls who were able to stomach the entire construction of these bridges, and all the brave souls who regularly have to use them like it's nothing 😮💨
I’ve been on that bridge in Florida. We were vacationing there and just followed what the GPS said so we had no idea just how long that bridge was. I felt like we were on it forever and it terrified me because I hate bridges. The view was beautiful though.
Chinese people are absolutely WONDERFUL! Hardworking and extremely determined! I love them with all my heart, I hope one day to have the honor to visit the blessed China!
I’ve been driving over the Skyway Bridge since I was 16 years old. It’s very scary especially on a cloudy & windy day when your car feels like it’s being pushed sideways. It is a beautiful view though and since they added the gorgeous lights it’s cool experience.
I went over the old Skyway bridge many times when I was younger. I also crossed it during the week with my job. My wife thought I had driven over that bridge the morning of the accident. Luckily, I had a change of my schedule. Whew!
09:48 - I drove over the Millau Viaduct (No. 2) both in the North direction to Paris and to the South as well. 10:38 - No vertigo and not stomach churning, it was like driving on a normal highway, nothing to it ! - The I drove down into the Tarn Valley to see the Millau Viaduct from bellow. That is very spectacular view and wort the drive down !
Revealation 16:19.....and the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.And every island fled away,and the mountains were not found..
My parents were on the northbound span of the Skyway when the southbound side was hit. My mom was pregnant with me. She said it was the most terrifying thing she ever experienced.
the Millau bridge is my favorite ! a master pierce of engineering ! it is necessary to take into account the height of the pillars, because the height in relation to the ground has no importance, whether it is 20 meters or 300 the difficulty of construction is the same. especially since the Millau bridge is 2.5 kilometers long! ...and it is just stunning, elegant, just fabulous!
Back in the 60s when I was just a young child, I thought that the Empire State.Building was about as tall as anything could be built and America was the greatest place in the world. Now I see the Sidu River Bridge and it dwarfs the Empire State Building like it was nothing. Oh, boy. America is done for when it comes to construction projects. The street in front of my house is filled with huge cracks and potholes, so I know America has just given up on doing things right. China is the construction king and that's that. America now only leads in crime and homelessness. What a fall from grace for a once-great country. Most of the bridges in NYC, where I live, are old and in disrepair. I suppose nothing good lasts forever.
I don't know if it's on the list but driving over the Huey P. Long bridge over the Mississippi River in New Orleans is pretty spooky , especially on a motorcycle.
Thank you. I grew up in Canon City, so I drove or walked across Royal Gorge a hundred times while I worked at the park. I would love to drive across the others.
I don't do bridges very well myself. When I was a kid my father liked to go across bridges with the car. At the Apex, he would always stop the car, and tell us to get out of the car to look over the side of the bridge. (read: Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, the Sunshine Skyway in Tampa, and a few others.) If he were alive today, I think he'd have a heyday with this list. I don't think I would do very well, looking over the sides of any on this list for sure.
When the I-10 bridge was built in Baton Rouge it was allowed for people to stop their car and get out to look around. Never realized how much a bridge can move when a semi truck would cross
In 1998, when we visited the Royal Gorge, no one could "drive" across the Bridge. We walked across, enjoying the view and rode the sky bus back across. Very enjoyable.
I have walked across the Royal Gorge bridge in Colorado many times and it is truly awesome. I have also driven my motorcycle across that bridge - you do have to be very careful of the abundant pedestrian traffic. Contrary to popular belief you can continue driving once you make to the other side.
There is absolutely nothing terrifying on "Le Viaduc de Millau"! It's a pleasure to drive over this bridge! It's a pity that the glass wall obscures the view!
My anxiety has entered the chat😩😓 Edited: *I would like to thank the hardworking men for the sacrifices they have made creating such creative breathtaking masterpieces.* 🌸✝️
I've driven number 9 before. There's a bridge that crosses the Pontchartrain that is kind of shady too lol. What makes me look twice is that those kinds of bridges get very low and close to the water.... Which makes me wonder what happens during hurricanes
I am already terrified watching you and listening to you . I am sorry i have goosebumps. However you are making a good video to educate us . And i like your voice and delivery
I used to regularly cross the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway which is the longest bridge over continuous water (continuous). For eight miles you can't see either end. Barges would knock out a secton or two and cars would disappear one by one until someone saw one go over and stop traffic. One night a bus load of nuns went into the dark lake.
I drove over the Causeway 13 years ago while visiting family. You are right. When you get to the section you mention, no land ahead, same if you look in the rear view mirror. Looking around, it's like you are in the middle of the ocean, it was a bit terrifying, yet fascinating at the same time. If i remember correctly, it's like 24 miles across, took me about 21 minutes at approx 60mph.Even saved the toll receipt and had the camcorder running as i cross. Left from New Orleans, crossed over the Causeway, turned around and came back. Great experience.
@@ShadowHawk4219 I lived on the N. Shore and at night, I could tell I was about 5 miles from the N. end because my lungs would fill easier with that pine scented, ozone air. St. Tammany Parish has the second largest ozone belt behind Germany's Black Forest. Plants grow much faster in these zones.
@@RaymondCore If memory serves me correct (too lazy to look it up, just ask someone from the area). is the North end called Metarie?, that name is in my head. Hope to get back there and cross it again, on a clear day, this time not by myself, and not tell tell them where we're going, and scare the hell out of them when we cant see land, tell them i must have missed my turn.
I remember as a child when the sunshine skyway bridge collapsed and as a young adult living near the new sunshine skyway bridge , I had to cross it twice a day to attend the Bradenton police academy. Nowadays I own a really nice boat and fish near the bumpers of the new bridge where there is remarkable fishing for snapper and grouper amongst other great fish. I currently reside about 15 minutes from the bridge today.
Great thanks and Respect to the Guys who built these Alsome Bridgeslll I admire their guts and Brains it took to build these!!! I have driven two of them!!! One--The Skyway Bridge real thrill!!! Two--The Royal Gorge Bridge where my Passengers decided to walk back instead of Riding lol!! I enjoyed it!!
the Astoria-Megler bridge is absolutely terrifying on a really stormy day. honestly, it's terrifying on a clear day. it's super tall, and is only two lands that wind like a rollercoaster tall enough for the giant freighters to go underneath into the Columbia River
Not any modern bridge is terrifying! The most terrifying bridges are steel bridges that are not maintained and completely rusty, waiting to collapse. Btw when it comes to big frightning suspension bridges, you may include the Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan, which has one of the tallest towers (283 meter) and longest total span in the world (2 km main span, 3,9 km total).
I used to cross the Sunshine Skyway on a daily basis. It's a beautiful drive. I walked out to the end of the old bridge where it collapsed before they tore it down and it was VERY scary.
I have driven over & under the Milau bridge in France not long after it opened - awesome ! - there is also a visitors centre worth visiting. I believe the bridge was designed by an English company & constructed by the same company that built the Eifle Tower.
Big respect to the workers who built these
Congratulations to those who built these bridges, but I will never use one. A normal bridge is enough for me thank you. My stomach does not need further agitation going over super bridges.

As a civil engineering student, China always amazes me when it comes to their insfrastructure, literally a country of innovation
China is not attractive to go see.
a country of innovasian?
This makes me want to visit each bridge now just to witness the sheer awesomeness in person
Who’s here after the francis scott key bridge collapse? So similar to the original skyway bridge. All bridge pillars should be protected by dolphins (barriers) 360 degrees around in my opinion.
Similarity
Absolutely, and there should be a requirement to have emergency diesels warmed up and running till the ship reaches open water.

Wow this just shows how much history repeats itself. The destruction of the sunshine Skyway bridge is so similar to the destruction of the Baltimore Bridge collapsing.
I was about to mention that
I've been on the Skyway Bridge twice but the last time I had to drive. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING ON A WINDY DAY! It was THE LAST TIME....
@@bobettemorgan453 youre hilarious lol I've driven down it probably 20 times, i never thought it was slightly scary at all
Very true.
And what I have seen, it lacked bunkers to protect the bridge.
Something to hit before hitting the pillar for the bridge.
Wasn't the Baltimore bridge hit by a boat??? It didn't just collapse

Not to mention that the span that collapsed was the second span added in the early 1970's.
I went over it as a kid in 1967 and then the new one in the 1990s. I’ll probably cross it again someday in the next few years.
What?! It’s scary!!
