10 Deadliest Bridges In The World

6. Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

First of all, the word 'hanging' does little to instil confidence in anyone's mind that walking across something will lead to anything but death. The Hussaini Hanging Bridge in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan knows it's scary, and it does nothing to ease fears that it'll lead to certain doom.

As monsoons are regular in the region, it's ill-advised to think about taking this bridge on without an expert. Good luck finding one, because the creaky rope bridge sits at an altitude of 2,600 metres. You read that right, two thousand, six hundred metres. Stop and process that for a second, then realise that you cried when reading about the Millau Viaduct's 343 metre height.

Hussaini has more to offer though. Many of the wooden planks are missing, and strong winds are known to shake the bridge often. Combine that with the heavy rain and the whole escapade becomes an appalling idea only masochists would enjoy.
