I could never walk out on girders like those workers...
While I'ved always enjoyed flying in both fixed, and rotary wing, aircraft; driving over that bridge, almost always, gives me a case ot the willies.

Some years it would be bucking back and forth in between the towers. Enough so that people would fall down here and there. There are large expansion joints, called finger joints I believe and it would be making clanging noises at those points. It was fun to see the stuff up close and notice things you don't pick up on while driving over it  I didn't notice many of those workers hooked up to any safety apparatus either... -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |
