Tourists panicked as the Yuntaishan glass bridge beneath their feet began to crack in Central China’s Henan province. The bridge is suspended 3,540 feet above ground.
A staff member has confirmed that the path had cracked and has been subsequently closed. The cracked was apparently caused by a tourist who dropped a heavy thermos, which caused one of the layers of glass to crack.
