 Almost a million people attempt to walk from each side over the Golden Gate Bridge on it’s 50th anniversary in Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, United States. The celebration attracted 750.000 to 1.000.000 people, and ineffective crowd control meant the bridge became congested with roughly 300.000 people, causing the center span of the bridge to flatten out under the weight.
