Guys, Would You Drive Over This Terrifying ‘Roller Coaster’ Bridge? (See Photos)

Usually, bridges don’t seem too scary, but this definitely will take your fear of bridges to new heights, guys. Behold Japan's Eshima Ohashi Bridge! It is a stretch of road that has freaked out even the most confident drivers as it looks like an insane roller coaster.

The bridge has an insanely steep and terrifying slope that’s tall enough to let ships pass underneath it with ease. It's the third largest in the world and spans a mile across Lake Nakaumi, linking the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato. The gradient of its slope is over 5 percent on each side, making driving over this thing one seriously thrilling car ride. Would you want to take a ride on it? See more pics after the cut.

Indonesia disregarded last-minute appeals and executed 8 drug traffickers including 4 Nigerians. Pictures of the dead being buried and details from their last minutes before being executed have been released to the media. According to the pastors who were with them in their final hours, Andrew Chan, Myuran Sukumaran and the other 6 death row inmates declined to wear blindfolds and were singing as they were shot by a 13-member firing squad in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The 8 men chose to face their executioners and spent their last minutes on earth praising God and singing songs which included 'Amazing Grace'.

On Wednesday morning, Pastor Christie Buckingham - who read Chan and Sukumaran their last rites - said the 8 death row inmates walked out onto the killing field singing religious songs in the moments before they were executed. Pastor Buckingham said the men conducted themselves with 'dignity and strength until the end'. Another pastor, Karina de Vega, said it was a 'beautiful experience'.
