The strangest bridge

300kg man trapped in Brisbane apartment

What makes this story noteworthy is that it was not your normal "apartment" that this guy had to be rescued from - it was a residence inside Brisbane's Walter Taylor bridge.

I think nearly everyone in Brisbane knows that the towers at either end of the old bridge are rented out and occupied. (I once drove over it while people were at a party on a balcony on the inner side of the towers.) But for people not from Brisbane who are curious as to what it looks like, here's a good photo.

It really seems a quite unique place. The fact that a person weighing nearly 4 times me lives there just adds to the fascination.
