At 3,800 meters in the French Alps, eight experienced workers are replacing a 70-year-old footbridge on top of the Aiguille du Midi, Mont Blanc. The 16-meter steel structure, delivered by helicopter, weighs over two tons and was installed in temperatures of around -20°C with winds of 20 km/h. The operation, which required four months of preparation, lasted only an hour, and the new bridge is designed to withstand winds of up to 254 km/h. France 2 team report.
