Isnt burning bridges a terroristic act?

Just one. I didn't want to, but these natives, I think they were cannibals, were chasing me.
I ran across a rope bridge, and when I got to the other side, I pulled a lighter from my pocket and lit the anchor ropes on fire.
In retrospect, had I pulled out the lighter sooner, disaster may have been averted.
Nonetheless, the natives, seeing the fire start so easily from a device in my hand, immediately dropped to their knees and appeared to be worshipping me. This was fortunate, because I had mis-estimated how long it would have taken the ropes to burn through. They clearly could have made it across the gorge before the bridge failed. 5 minutes later, as the no-longer-restless natives were still bowing before me, the anchor ropes had thinned enough. With a loud "snap", the bridge dropped away from my side of the precipice. I got only a glimpse of the shocked expressions on the native's faces as they plunged into the gorge for several seconds before smashing into the rocks below.
I was happy and lucky to be alive, but saddened when I realized that had I flicked my zippo lighter sooner, their lives may have been spared, plus they might even have bestowed some gifts upon me.

So, yes, I've burned a bridge. Only one.

Congratulations! So few folks ever get off the expressways and onto the surface streets in East LA as it is. And those folks weren't cannibals, they just wanted your Rolexx. Sad, tragic really. You had such a head start, they never really saw the extra 'x'.

how can anyone really answer that question?

i seriously think i have only really burned one to the ground.

some people's personalities are geared to that the failed relationships in their life stand out like white on black. mine certainly works that way.

I once walked out of a job. It was a grocery store job. I don't envision it coming back to bite me in the ass.
