Says he’s being treated with psychological counseling. Guess almost blowing off this bridge messed with his head!

There was an issue where I live with a glass panelled bridge. The panes were cracking one by one and the local authorities were sure that the local kids were smashing them in the night, they even set up CCTV to catch them. It turned out in the end that the designers had made mistakes calculating the expansion of the metal framing for the glass due to heat changes. I wonder if a similar thing happened here.

Tourist trap traps tourist.
