Wild!! Sears Tower’s Glass Balconies

by admin on Jul.03, 2009, under Cool Stuff


Would you trust a glass floor suspended 103 stories in the air?  The Sears Tower is offering a new way to push your fear of heights right imageover the edge. Sears  Tower officials say the inspiration for the balconies came from the hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind on Skydeck windows every week. “The Ledge,” as they’re collectively called, hangs 1,353 feet in the air. With transparent walls and ceilings, visitors say its like floating in the sky, and the view is, of course, spectacular. Don’t worry, those glass floor can withstand five tons, but just to be safe, jumping up and down is probably not a good idea. [AP]
