3,500-Ft-High Glass Walkway Cracks Under Visitors’ Feet
A 3,540-foot-high (1,080m) glass walkway at Yuntai Mountain Geological Park in China cracked right under visitors’ feet on Monday after a visitor dropped a stainless steel cup. This walkway opened on September 20th, and given that another glass bridge was recently opened in China over a mountain gorge, many Chinese people have been less than thrilled at the news.
The visitors were not endangered, as the walkway features several layers of 2.7cm-thick glass, each of which can support 800kg per square meter. Because the glass plates were custom-made, there is no word on when the walkway will be reopened.

“I don’t know what caused this, but at that second many people screamed. I shouted that it really broke! Then I pushed in front of people and ran. It was terrifying”

'...Then I pushed in front of people and ran' If the glass broke and I am the one who was pushed by him, I'll definitely take my revenge

I understand the panic of standing on a high breaking glass bridge, but wouldn't running your way out be even more endangering? Especially if everyone started running...

That is why you push first the others, some might fall right away so you have less competence
