Wonder where that puts the Royal Gorge bridge in Colorado? That span is supposed to be 1000' above the river.

check this one out ! https://youtu.be/UgWtJzPa-Rs
In this case it isn't the span or elevation above the river, but rather the height of the structure itself.
I have a slight problem with bridges ( nothing to do with trolls or my nordic ancestry ) lol just plain dont like em , would have a real problem crossing either of these ! pnic pnic

Look up "Galloping Gertie or Gerty" I forget which way it was spelled, that will give you a REASON to hate Bridges!

If Galloping Gertie was the one across Puget Sound, I saw the remains of it while duck hinting there in the early '70s. (susp)
I have a phobia of heights, acrophobia, but only when it's well above head high. I use to hunt from elevated stands a fair amountand around 10 or 12 feet was my limit. I know some who have no problem going up 20 feet or more but I can't do it. I did long ago get accustomed to spending time in a fire lookout tower in my early 20s but it was a relatively modest 60 feet high. So my phobia is very real but only moderate, say, an 8 on a 1-10 pt scale at most.
Fear of bridges is called "gephyrophobia".
Talking about being afraid of something, I can tell you that my left hand can kill a man; and I'm scared of that right sob MYSELF!
