No worries - well, apart from my acrophobia, which means that I have to watch any such videos with my knuckles clenched firmly to my desk.
Thanks, anyway. CfN.

A video news report, from the BBC:
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in China has undergone a five-day testing process ahead of the scheduled opening in late September.
The load test is the final step before it is considered safe to welcome traffic. A testing team drove 96 trucks onto designated points to test the bridge's structural integrity.
Rising 625m (2,083ft) above a river in Guizhou province, the bridge will upon completion set the record for both the world's tallest bridge and largest span bridge built in a mountainous area.
