[00:00:06]In Meghalaya, India, >> [music] >> the wettest place on earth, locals have engineered something incredible.

[00:00:12]They guide the [music] flexible roots of Ficus elastica trees through hollowed bamboo poles across raging rivers. Over 10 to 15 years, [music] these roots grow thick and strong, creating living suspension bridges that [music] support 50 people at once and last for hundreds of years.
