Got guts.....repost!



Would you be scared to drive across this bridge . ...


The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features

the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters (787 feet) high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge in the world.

I can barely drive across local bridges without an anxiety attack.

One word answer (yes or no)...Could you do it...knowing exactly where you were?

YES! I would drive this bridge! I love bridges - very often they offer the best views!

KIKI said...

I said it before, I'll say it again. HALE NAW!

Normally I love heights & bridges don't bother me, but in the words of Katt Williams..."THAT SH*T RIGHT THUR, N*KKA...THAT SH*T RIGHT THUR..."lol Noooo Way!

As a "Travel Diva" I would just HAVE to cross this bridge to say I've done it with pics to prove it. Awesome. Wish I knew it was there when I was in Barcelona this past June.

good day, ladies. I just can't do it. i probably couldn't even be a passenger without sweating a gallon if I had to cross it at all.

salesdiva: welcome to the blog. you are one travel diva for sure. smile!

cap: you're pretty adventurous. that's pretty cool.

Yes, I would do it. But, I would be shitting bricks while I do it.

Now, I feel like I need to go back to Paris soon to say that I've been there and have an anxiety attack while crossing it.

funny thing is..i flew over the grand canyon in a helicopter...but driving over that bridge is not an option. go figure.

@LMF: when you do it...let me know how it felt for you. i will live vicariously through your driving experience.

When I was younga I was FEARLESS but now I'm a W.I.M.P! But I think I'd try it..maybe.. perhaps.. with the right incentives.

Miss Snarky Pants said...

Who me?? [LOL]

Ticia said...

Hecks no!!!

Shai said...

I am with Kiki. Hell to the N.a.w. SMH. My analytical mind wonders how many folks will fall from that structure and how reliable is the construction.

Little Brown Girl said...

Yup, bridges/heights dont scare me. I'd probably drive at the speed limit and close to the median though just to be on the safe side LOL!!

The Re-inventing of C. said...

I will but I won't like it!! I would never punk out of an opportunity like that but I would freak out the entire way!

dc_speaks said...

dc_speaks said...

@neshia: lol

@GND: the real dimensions...height-too damn high width-not nearly wide enough--support beams-about 30,000 too few. hahaha

@durtymo: even in my teens or twenties, i'd have to pass...good luck wit dat

@ticia: im wit you homie

@RD: the median....what median...looks like two lanes one in each direction

@shai: my mind tells my body to stay away from situations like that altogether...im wit you too

nikki said...

ain't no way in HELLA i'm driving cross that bridge. i'm getting nauseous just reading about it.

mp1 said...

yes!

Tayo (AllTayo.com) said...

Yes, but I'd be sending prayers up above for the entire time.

Flyovers make me nervous. This would be so nerve-wracking.

If I were a passenger, best believe that there would be fingernail marks in someone's car door.

That said, it looks like a great view.

dc_speaks said...

@nikki: hey girl...darn skippy not me either.

@maddy: i aint mad at you , brah.

@Tayo: welcome to the comments and lol@fingernail marks in the door. thats mad funny!
