Would you walk on this
?
Glass
Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the
very edge of the Grand Canyon .
On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed
engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the
weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million
pounds).
The
bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour
from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake
within 50 miles.
More
than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the
Grand Canyon SkyWalk.
