But yeah, If I dont look, I can do it. Went over the Oakland/SF Bay Bridge last year and I had to concentrate on my breathing and staying calm. I had never understood panic attacks up until that point.
I've had a similar experience going over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in bumper to bumper traffic with my family. All of sudden felt heart rate / BP go up, and I couldn't wait to get off that bridge. It looked so high while I was stuck there. I've gone over dozens of other bridges before and since and never had an issue. I go across the Chesapeake Bay bridge a lot, and I never even think about it.

That's almost worth a thread to itself: what bridge freaks you out.
