Suspension bridges require years of careful designing and they push the applications of engineering to the extreme. Tell it to the guy who used a piece of rope and some wooden planks to create “The Hussaini-Borit Lake Bridge” in Northern Pakistan, which by now has the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous suspension bridge in the world.
The view from the Hussaini-Borit Lake Bridge is picturesque and breathtaking, not to mention precarious and potentially lethal.
The area is known for its “two bridge trek,” which is a major tourist attraction experience. I guarantee you that no freaking theme park ride can come close to simulating the truly death-defying thrills that come with crossing this bridge, where sudden gusts of winds can knock travelers off their feet to a stone cold watery death within seconds.
The likely death of those who dare to cross the rickety structure is only one disturbing fact associated with this bridge. It provides the only means of travel connecting locals to the larger cities of northern Pakistan, making the long and dangerous walk across its shaky foundation a common occurrence.
