After a glass-bottom bridge in China broke, a tourist was left stranded

If you’ve ever thought that glass-bottomed bridges were harrowing, click away now. After gusts of up to 93 miles-per-hour hit the mountains of Longjing, China, and blew out the panels of a glass-bottomed suspension bridge over the weekend, a tourist was left clinging to the rails. The bridge runs 328 feet over a gorge and the unlucky man was stuck for over half an hour until rescue personnel successfully freed him. He was unharmed and the bridge has been closed for repairs.

Archeologists rail against plans to build a new Colosseum floor

Only a week after the Italian government selected Milan Ingegneria to design, build, and install a new high-tech floor at the Colosseum in Rome, archeologists are reportedly up in arms over what they’re calling a “waste of money.” Critics claim that the $18.2 million retractable wood floor will divert money from restoration work on the Colosseum itself, which is in dire need of exterior cleaning and reorganization of pedestrian routes.

With more and more people stuck at home during the pandemic and looking to refresh their living spaces, you would think that West Elm’s business would be booming. You would be right, but also booming is the number of customers who have waited months for their sofas, bed frames, and other furniture to arrive as supply chains buckled. Thanks to an increase in orders, social distancing at suppliers’ factories, and material shortages, most home goods suppliers are facing a backlog, but West Elm apparently draws the most consumer ire.

The American Museum of Natural History’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals gets a fresh new look

Say goodbye to the iconic brown shag carpeting at the American Museum of Natural History’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals in Manhattan. The halls have been closed since 2017, but will finally open on June 12 with a darker, modernized design intended to bring the gems and minerals section more in line with the rest of the Earth sciences showcases. For fans of kitsch, there are still plenty of throwback exhibitions to check out at the museum; if you’re looking for ’70s vibes, the Hall of Reptiles and Amphibians is a good choice.

Developer Related Companies is reportedly locked in a battle with street vendors at Hudson Yards, enlisting the NYPD to ticket vendors and installing planters to block off potential food cart locations.
