stones... or mugs.

Hi, welcome to China Uncensored, I'm your host Chris Chappell. You know, many great

feats of man have been brought low by the simplest of things.

The mighty walls of Helms Deep—destroyed by a single orc.

The proud Death Star—annihilated by a single space wizard.

And the mighty Samuel L Jackson…

Now, everyone knows that 'made in China' and 'quality' go hand in hand, in the same way

that 'one more drink' and 'good decisions' do. That's why tourists felt confident in

the safety of this glass walk way, built thirty-five hundred feet in the air along China's Yuntai

Mountain Scenic Spot.

I mean, wouldn't you walk on it? It even got the approval of Chinese officials, known for

their trustworthiness, who told people it was exceptionally safe. It was after all three

quarters of an inch thick and treated to resist not just bending, but shattering as well.

So what could go wrong?!

Well, apparently it shattered.

But only a little bit according to park officials who admitted to finding "a small amount of

cracks." Or a terrifying amount, according to a female tourist who said on social media

that there was a loud bang and everybody was screaming. The social media post has been

removed. So really, who knows?

But one thing's clear: She posted this photo of it on Weibo...which is really unclear.

So no one is quite sure exactly how much this very, very high up glass bridge cracked after

less than a month of being open to the public.

But how could engineers have foreseen the cataclysmic event that would humble their

efforts? According to the People's Daily Online, one of the tourists dropped a stainless steel

mug on it. How can you plan for that?! Next you'll be telling me the Titanic should have

had more lifeboats on deck "just in case." As if you could predict the sinking of an

unsinkable ship.

And anyway this kind of thing happens all the time, the Chinese park management reassured

people. Back in 2014, a glass beer bottle shattered one layer of glass on the walkway

at London's Tower Bridge... Which to be fair, I wouldn't be walking on in the first place,

given the notorious reputation for London bridges falling down, falling down.

The bridge in Yuntai Mountain has been closed for now. But soon they'll open it back up

to the public again. Do you think you'll be visiting? It's a great view! Let me know in

the comments below. Once again I'm Chris Chappell, see you next time.

Ah! Great shoot, guys! Well done! (Boom)

If after watching that, you still want to walk on the Yuntai Mountain glass bridge,

then you might be the kind of person who would also participate in the most dangerous boat

race in the world. Check it out on Seeker Daily.

You see this? That’s China building its first homemade aircraft carrier,

called the Type 001A.
