It Was So Windy In NYC That This Bridge Looked Like It Was Breathing & Sounded Like Ghosts
The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City closed on Monday afternoon due to high winds that were so extreme they made the bridge look, and sound, like it was breathing.Β
The bridge bobbed up and down looking like if a breathing lung was a bridge, and sounded like an orchestra being conducted by a ghost.
Of course, it's a suspension bridge, and that's what suspension bridges do, so this event is not abnormal or necessarily dangerous, however, it IS...extremely disconcerting to see and hear.

It sounds like the bridge just became sentient and decided it wanted to join a metal band but still has a long way to go until it realizes its own musical talents.
