Kids climbing across a collapsed bridge to get to school

From The Telegraph

Children hold on to the side bars of a collapsed bridge as they cross a river to get to school at Sanghiang Tanjung village in Indonesia. The flooded Ciberang river broke a pillar supporting the suspension bridge, which was built in 2001, on Monday….

Sofiah, a student crossing the bridge, says she would need to walk for an extra 30 minutes if she were to take a detour via another bridge.

    Meanwhile, in the United States, a mother gripes incessantly that her kid’s bus is 7-minutes late.

    Incredible. If only students in the US had the same kind of dedication and commitment to education.

    Dedication to education my butt. They are doing it because it’s fun. I know I would have done the same thing when I was a kid (and probably would join them now if I was there).

    So, has anyone slipped and fallen in yet? What are the consequences? Crocodiles or parasites? Isn’t it worth it to them to take an extra 30 minutes? I guess their time is more important than a heightened chance of injury or death.
