Photo of fire damage around Royal Gorge Bridge is literally unbelievable

Some feared for the worst when firefighters in Colorado reportedly radioed they “could no longer defend” the Royal Gorge Bridge, the world’s highest suspension bridge and one of the most scenic spots in America. The bridge survived, but a new photo of the scene looks like something created in a Hollywood special effects shop.
