A Florida woman who dangled from an upright drawbridge for a half-hour — making her a sensation on the Web — could be charged with trespassing.

Robert LeDoux of Florida East Coast Railway said his company is waiting to find out more about the woman — identified by officials as Wanda McGowan, 55, of Dania Beach — before deciding whether to press charges.

McGowan had apparently just participated in a breast-cancer awareness event when she walked past warning signs and onto the railroad bridge, which was down so a train could cross the river.

The bridge, which is operated remotely, then moved into the upright position, leaving McGowan hanging on for dear life 22 feet in the air.
