Sooner them than me!!

The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London.
When the bridge was opened in June 2000, it was found that it swayed noticeably. With a large number of pedestrians on the bridge, its sideways movement was sufficient to cause people to stop walking and hold on to the hand-rails. Because there was danger of personal injury, it was decided to close the bridge after a few days for remedial work. 15 years on, it continues to be a tourist must-do and used by many who work in the area.
These guys where in the throes of painting the steel structures, 5 of them in total. Two guys in a boat down below, hovering....................just in case!! (see extra)
