WTF, that is crazy! Crazy

Is there anyone here who understands engineering that can explain how the hell that bridge is still standing?

Re: [dan_inagap] Crazy Bridge
ok,
the bridge is similar to a hanging rope bridge. The bottom platform is hanging from two anchor points opposite each other accross the gorge.

The road platform is simply elevated via columns to be level for trave.

Im interested to understand how the bottom platform is flexing or what are its flexibillity designs.
