Aerial Video Shows the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge From a Birds-Eye View

Vimeo uploader and drone enthusiast Airtistry recently captured some great aerial shots of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island over the New York Harbor.

When it opened in 1964, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was the world's longest suspension span. The ends of the bridge are at historic Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, both of which guarded New York Harbor at the Narrows for over a century. The bridge was named after Giovanni da Verrazano, who, in 1524, was the first European explorer to sail into New York Harbor.
