March 4, 2007: Travellers on foot

It's another 20minutos.es shot. These folks are crossing an emergency bridge to reach Penthal, 180 kilometers from the India city of Jammu, winter capital of Kashmir. Thousands of passengers and hundreds of trucks have been stranded due to the closing of the highway between the two cities, after a landslide.

damn landslides! they inconvenience everyone!

shiiiiiiet

I would hate to be the people who have to take the trucks' cargo over that rickety bridge.

At least the bridge is well named. If I had to walk over that bridge, I'm sure I would have to make some sort of emergency toilet stop. At least there's a convenient river to do the emergency into.

I'm assuming they only have to trek around the slide, and there's transportation from the slide to the cities on both sides. Damn inconvenient, but not like walking the whole way. :confused:

just:

They are certainly testing the limits of that bridge's load carrying capacity.

Attention everyone, attention! Lets all start doing Irish line dancing! You there on the bridge, lead off!


:biggrin: Nice Lumberjim!

Hmmm....I wonder what the best flies would be off that bridge?

I would go for that patch of relatively still water at the top of the picture, but I would not cast from the bridge.

Why bother Kings , all you would catch is Sheiiit Trout ;)
