A tourist was left clinging on for dear life after the glass panels of a 330-ft high bridge in China were damaged in strong winds. The glass-bottomed bridge is located at a resort built into the Piyan Mountain in the Chinese city of Longjing. A terrifying image purportedly shows a man clinging onto the railing after winds of up to 90mph blew away some of the glass panels on Friday. (Photos/Video) A photo of the stranded tourist was initially shared to the country's Weibo social media platform, where it amassed more than four million views.

Why was the bridge still open in 90MPH winds? Why were people stupid enough to go out on it in 90MPH winds? Do a search on 'worlds scariest bridges' or 'worlds weirdest bridges', and these glass bridges show up.

Why would they design and build a bridge that cannot withstand high winds? Were there really unusually high winds, or is that an excuse for why the thing collapsed?

From my personal experience, for the most part, Chinese Engineering students are too busy devising ingenious methods of cheating than actually learning anything. The bridge is a WING! Look at the infamous Tacoma (Washington) Narrows Bridge incident from the 1930's and see what happens when wind rushes down a canyon. So the forces on the glass panels were just like the airfoil and lift pulled the panels up off the structure. It's amazing that the man didn't get blown off the bridge at that airspeed. Free Trivia: That car on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge belonged to a Math Professor who drove out there to better understand the phenomena. For some odd reason he took his dog in the car and left i out there as he didn't think it could walk back with him with all the undulation going on.

Excellent. Now make one that mimics failure with cracking glass effect and amped sound plus screams. Some people will flock to it. There is always a certain percentage of fools who rush in. Don't worry the resort was BRIEFLY closed and the clinging man was taken to a hospital for psychological counseling and then tested to see if he had any useful organs.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is marking its third win in the last few years on protecting the right to inspect state voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting. The Fourth Circuit federal appeals court on Monday ruled in favor of PILF in its lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections, vacating a lower court’s decision blocking the inspection of the state’s voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting. “North Carolina had tried to prevent the public from inspecting records related to noncitizens registering and voting in our elections,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.

About a decade ago, when I worked for the American Enterprise Institute, I had to force myself to go to lunch with a friend.

Politicians are prone to hyperbole, and anyone who has followed politics for longer than 10 minutes knows that.But Republicans who are sounding the alarm on H.R. 1 and its companion bill in the Senate, S. 1, are not being melodramatic or resorting to exaggeration when they say this legislation will legitimately change how our country is governed for a generation, maybe more.Per the Constitution, states are primarily responsible for governing elections, though our founding document also gives Congress authority to intervene. Historically, however, Congress (and the courts) have chosen to let states set their own rules and regulations as to how they will handle balloting.
