I saw that on the news this morning. It was amazing. He was also very humble when they interviewed him.

Eric, this happened while I was on the UW-GB campus... ironically only 5 minutes away. This was all over the news by us... believe me, it was a slow news day in the Green Bay/Appleton/Oshkosh metro areas. The first thing discussed in class today was the bridge rescue. The Tower Drive bridge (Leo Frigo Bridge) 'towers' over the mouth of the Fox River in Green Bay. It would have been certain that she would have plunged to her death. Many people are afraid of travelling on that bridge because of the height. My former roommate for example will only drive on the inner lanes. I drove on the outer lanes with her once and she was freaking out. Believe me, I've driven on the bridge a few times, stay off if you are afraid of heights.

:rarrow: Bridge Information: Total length of the structure is 7982 feet including a 450-foot-long tied arch. Bridge was built at 120' above high water datum Image
