What is there, no one knows, since no one has yet returned from there. It is noteworthy that no one also knows the exact date of the opening of the bridge, so every night trip here in bad weather can be your last. In 2011, for example, 13-year-old Maggie Goldstein disappeared without a trace here, and she has not been found until now. It is very suspicious that the girl disappeared after running away from home in the dark during a storm …
