World's Highest Bridge

Would you be apprehensive about driving across this bridge?

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters (787 feet) high and the overall height is an impressive 336 meters (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge in the world. It is taller than the Eiffel Tower.

Intriguingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight. A straight road could induce a sensation of floating for drivers, which a slight curve remedies. The curve is 20km in range. Moreover, the road has a light incline of 3% to improve the visibility and reassure the driver.It is truely an amazing engineering feat!

What do You See?

Take your time, an incorrect answer could indicate weary brain cells. Are the patterns moving? Or are they perfectly still??







Stare for a few seconds at each of the following patterns.

The patterns are used to test the level of stress a person can handle. The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly. However, senior citizens and kids see them nearly standing still. None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still. How did you do with the test?
