Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the
Colorado River onthe very edge of the Grand
Canyon . On May 2005, the final test wasconducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds). ????? ?????? ??? ???? The bridge will be able to
sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different
directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles.
