3. Tokyo Subways

1. Hussaini Bridge, Pakistan
The creaky, swaying rope and plank bridge is a well-known trope in movies and other fiction, and for good reason. The side-to-side lurch in the wind, the unsettling creaking of the ropes, the unnerving give of the slowly deteriorating planks; all this can make crossing one of these fragile-looking constructions a legitimately terrifying experience. What’s worse? Crossing one while it’s deceased predecessor dangles next to you with snapped ropes and rotting planks. This is what many of the villagers in Hussain, Pakistan have to experience just to get from their farms into town.
