Newcastle on June 15th, the temperature was 20°C, the sky was clear, and the strong wind above the Tyne River was about 5-6, the kind that could shake the trees.
Yang Lei took the special car provided by the Olympic Organizing Committee and drove along the bank of the Tyne River all the way to the famous Tyne Bridge.
Newcastle is a city famous for its bridge culture, and it is also one of the most proud tourist attractions in the United Kingdom, the Tyne Bridge is more than 100 years old, the quality is still very reliable, and now the bridge can be raised freely, allowing large ships to cross under the bridge, which shows that the British also have a century-old craftsmanship.
When the sun sets, or the morning sun rises, the Tyne Bridge with a row of long holes is the best backdrop for sunset and sunrise shooting, and it is too beautiful to say.
At this time, Yang Lei saw the scene of the rising sun in the car window, and he was also embarrassed.
In order to attract attention, he also gave up.
When the two elders of the family heard about it, they resolutely opposed doing such a dangerous thing, saying: "You are not married yet, what if there is a three long and two short and fall from the sky?"
Yang Lei's brain was hot at the time and said, "Don't I still have a daughter?"
Lao Yang almost followed the radio waves and came to the UK from Huaxia through the air, but he really didn't open any pot.
The two always care about Yang Lei, to be honest, the money has been earned enough, and the son might as well watch TV at home honestly, and have a little time to make more people, which is better than fooling around outside.
When Chen Bingni heard this, she was also surprised: "Passing the holy flame in the sky?
"Bei Ye is a professional, skydiving, glider handstand, helicopter landing in the crater, jumping jeep in the desert, what has he not done?"
"You've done all of that, too?"
"I've seen it. ”
"Can you compare with him, really, be careful to get rid of it, what if the torch is blown out by the wind?"
"It is impossible for the torch to be blown out by the wind, and it is good for people to deal with it against strong winds. ”
"But you ......"
"Don't ask, if you ask again, you'll kill yourself, just wait to see my heroism on TV. ”
Yang Lei smiled perfunctorily, and finally persuaded Chen Bingni.
Xu Shiwei also called: "Can you ensure success?"
Bell's team says the success rate is only 30 percent. ”
"Do you want to give up?"
"It's okay, give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, you have to believe in my ability. ”
Xu Shiwei told a few words, let him go, she is also a person full of adventurous spirit.
Half an hour later, the car stopped, and Yang Lei was ready to appear.
The security experts whispered the precautions in his ear, and the photographer followed the close-up shots, all of which were disseminated to the BBC headquarters.
This is a tall building on the side of the Tyne Bridge, about 150 meters high, with 45 floors.
Compared to the 400-meter-high Tyne Bridge, the highest point is nothing in between.
Yang Lei took the elevator and went up to the roof of the high-rise building, where a high-altitude anchor point was temporarily set up, which was a small stage specially built for him.
The staff is in place, and Bei Ye's security experts have done the final inspection to ensure safety.
There was a manager of Huaxia Insurance Company standing on the rooftop, so nervous that he swallowed his saliva, Yang Lei had taken out insurance in his company, personal accident insurance of 10 billion, and the actuaries of the entire company were helping him settle the accounts, and the premiums were collected by millions.
"Put on this invisible headset. ”
The security expert handed over a small earbud and put it into Yang Lei's left ear: "Test, Test......"
The testers inside talked, and Yang Lei nodded: "You can hear it." ”
When everything was ready on his side, a thousand kilometers away from the Tyne Bridge, Bell Grylls was riding a winch up.
Compared to the huge steel bridges, humans are extraordinarily small.
Think about it, a hundred years ago, the British used a lot of collective wisdom to create this miracle of steel, and they have to praise the greatness of mankind.
Because the Tyne Bridge is a rainbow-shaped arch bridge, the winch has to ride a long curved track to reach the highest point of the arch after reaching the top of the arch on the side.
Crunch!
The winch bucket stops, and here it is to be manually operated, changing from a straight rising winch to an arcing track, and the bridge engineer straddles the dump bucket and stands in the operation area.
"Wait a minute. ”
Bell Grylls stopped the bridge engineer, pointed to the slender overhaul track, and asked, "Can this track only take a winch?"
The engineer asked, "Or else?"
"Can a person walk on it?"
"Yes, sometimes maintenance workers will walk up to remove rubbish such as rust or bird carcasses or fish bones. ”
Bell stood up, holding the Olympic torch in one hand and the edge of the winch with the other: "I'm going to go this way." ”
"You're crazy!"
Several people were stunned and screamed.
At this time, they had reached an altitude of almost 200 meters, and the wind was terrifying, who would dare to accompany him to walk the steel track?
The steel track is only 1 meter wide, and next to it is a very low steel guard, almost 30 centimeters high, which is mainly used to secure the edge of the winch.
In the middle of the steel track is a chain drive, and the three-finger-thick intertwined steel cable is fixed through the iron ring at the bottom of the winch, so as to avoid the crosswind blowing on the bridge to overturn the winch in particularly extreme weather.
Of course, in the past 100 years, there has never been an incident of a winch derailment, and if it is a strong wind, the bridge maintenance personnel will not go up.
And the winch weighs hundreds of kilograms, and the person is less than 100 kilograms, like today's level 6 gale, the trees are blown and shaken, the wires are whirring, it is difficult for pedestrians to hold umbrellas, and the torch in Bell's hand is about to be blown out, who dares to walk on such a narrow track?
It's only a madman like Bell.
Bell actually grabbed the edge of the winch and jumped off, stepping on the steel tracks.
"Be careful!"
Everyone exclaimed, this is terrible, only the protective chain around his waist is pulling, what if he falls?
The BBC's videographer probed slightly to point the camera downwards.
At 200 meters in the air, it is as high as a 60-story building, and everything on the ground has become very small.
In the lens, you can only see a long bridge, a wide river, cars and riverboats like toy cars, and then nothing.
The kind of suffocating, heart-stopping, and frightening high-altitude dizziness invaded the cameraman wave after wave.
Vomit......
The BBC videographer couldn't stand it anymore and retched.
He plucked up the courage to follow Bell, and many times his colleagues asked him if he could hold on, and he said he could.
But the thought that he was about to walk this 1-meter-wide track with Bell made his legs limp.
The photographer is usually more tired than the protagonist, because he not only has to follow in the footsteps of the protagonist, but also to shoot the camera well, doing this kind of thing at an altitude of 200 meters, the BBC photographer is finally crushed, and his heart just can't bear it.
"I'll do it. ”
The security captain who followed reached out and took the equipment from the BBC photographer.
The security captain is also a member of Bell's team, following Bell's birth and death all over the world, occasionally making cameos as photographers, and is a big heart.
In the cave that year, the Bell team was chased by the train, and it was this ruthless man who made a quick decision, pulled everyone all the way to run wildly, just ran out of the cave and fell next to the track, and the train followed out of the hole after 1 second, which can be called the limit escape, and everyone was almost knocked into meat sauce.
The BBC photographer shook his head vigorously: "No, you can't do this, the director won't allow you to take risks, 60 million British people are looking at you, Bale, don't do that." ”
Unmoved, Bell Grylls stood up straight on the edge of the track, his arms outstretched, the Olympic flame burning in front of his left hand, no amount of wind could extinguish it, no amount of high bridges, no matter how dangerous the road, could not quench Bell's blood.
Bridge engineers are going crazy.
Knowing that Bell is crazy, it can't be like this, right?
"Command, Command, Bell asked to walk to the maintenance point, please instruct!"
Several people in the winch bucket were helpless, so they could only stop Bell and hurry up to ask for instructions.
The on-site command center was also about to collapse, and everyone was in an uproar, screaming in horror.
In the picture transmitted back from the scene, you can see that Bell is holding the Olympic torch in his left hand, and he wants to untie the protective buckle around his waist with his right hand.
"Ordinary maintenance workers can go, why can't I?"
Bell turned around and shouted at the camera.
But the maintenance workers also have to use a protective steel cable next to it.
Bell couldn't be resisted, and the command center could only agree.
The bridge engineer hurriedly came to help, removing the protective ring from Bell's waist, fastening it to his ankle, and then pulling it to a protective steel cable at the edge of the track to form a simple protective buckle.
Next, the wonderful shot was produced.
Balle turned back to the camera and said: "I wanted to stand at the top of the city and see the scenery, the sunrise in Newcastle is so beautiful that I can't wait to throw myself into it." ”
Walking with the camera, Bell ditched the winch bucket and stepped on the side of the chain track, resisting the irregular category 6 crosswinds and continuing to climb at an altitude of 200 meters.
The blue sky and white clouds under the lens are so beautiful, and the huge steel silhouette appears above the head, and the person looks extraordinarily small.
But if the camera shines any further, it will definitely startle the audience, scream, and produce a huge fear, thinking that the seemingly unprotected Bell is playing with his life!
It's really hard.
Yang Lei heard these conversations in the intercom system, and his face changed slightly.
The assistant next to him handed him a portable tablet on which an internal video of the BBC was playing.
When he saw Bell bending his waist alone, trying to grasp the balance of the air flow, twisting his body and walking on the rails of the arched bridge, he was violently pushed by the invisible crosswind from time to time, his body staggered, crooked towards the edge of the steel, Yang Lei's heart almost stopped beating.
WTF!
It's a pervert, right?
Just as Bell was walking to the top, Yang Lei was also instructed.
He had to tie the protective rope around his waist and a rope on his right wrist to prevent him from being lost, and fasten the Olympic torch to the rope that had not yet been lit.
He's no better than Bell.
If you don't protect it well, 400 meters and 150 meters, falling down will be an ending, death!
