Gale force winds damaged a glass bridge at a resort in China’s Jilin Province on Friday, leaving a tourist stranded.
With winds gusting at 150kmh (93 mph), several pieces of glass that made up the bridge that sits 100 meters (328 feet) above the Piyan Mountain near the city near Longjing, were blown away.
The incident occurred at 12:45 p.m. local time and authorities from various local departments were able to successfully rescue the male tourist after a nearly 45-minute ordeal. He was then taken to the hospital to receive psychological counseling.

A Hillsborough County Deputy now dubbed “Crocodile Dun-Wheatee” is credited with relocating two alligators to the water in one month.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, an officer by the name of Deputy Wheaton helped return a 10-foot long alligator back to the water at the beginning of last month and followed that up with giving a 4-foot long alligator a lift back to a pond using only a broomstick at the end of last month.
In the more recent alligator incident, Wheaton and two other deputies responded after a 911 caller reported that an alligator was sleeping underneath a car in a residential neighborhood, according to the HCSO.
