Calgary's is scarier but a walk-in-the-park compared to to the Sears/Willis Tower glass floor

I was just in Chicago last summer and I'm kicking myself for not going up the Sears tower after seeing this.

Yeah, last time I was there, everyone told me the Hancock tower had much better views of the city... if I had known that I was missing out on this, I would've done it for sure!

They did just open mid-summer last year so you not have even missed it.

My computer is just fine. I shouldn't need a 36" monitor just to look at a picture.

damn i wish they had that glass box when i was up the sears tower in chicago.


it'd be damn hard to pull off, but it'd be funny to take a passed out drunk friend and put him in there to scare the hell out of him when he wakes up hahaha.

That is beyond awesome. They best way to tackle those glass floors is to walk straight out of the elevator as quick as possible and right on to the glass. It gives you a such a rush. I almost pass out haha. Jumping also feels interesting....lol
