That's amazing, imagine what it would have taken to build that in the early 1900s!

Lots of "unavoidable" deaths I would have thought. as was the case with most construction projects back then.

indeed, if i remember rightly when the hoover dam was being built the first person to die on the project and the last person to die were father and son and they died on the same day of different years. i might have remembered incorrectly thou i am getting old!

4 "walkers" fell off (unavoidable death?) during 1999/2000 so they closed the bottom and top entrances but people still get onto the path - unsurprising as it is apparantly the route to a favoured rock climbing location. Not for me though, I nearly ran to the loo to throw up just watching the video  |

That would come under the awfully bad luck heading methinks Adam! |

if it was built these days, they would want wheelchair access ramps and everything  . definitely looks like a good walk with alot of nice views, but looking at some of the concrete, it looks as thou other parts could fall away at any time |
