Well if I can’t gross you out, maybe I can scare you to death. The owner of the Sears Tower have decided that they want double up on the competition and have installed 4 glass balconies suspended 1353 feet in the air. The balconies jut out about 4 feet form the buildings skydeck on the 103 floor and provide a absolutely beautiful view of the landscape.The balconies are 10 feet wide and 10 feet high with a glass enclosure that is 1.5 inches thick.
Designers say the platforms – collectively dubbed The Ledge – have been purposely designed to make visitors feel as they are floating above the city.
The reward is unobstructed views of Chicago from the building’s west side and a heart-stopping vista of the street and Chicago River below – for those brave enough to look straight down.
‘It’s like walking on ice,’ visitor Margaret Kemp, from Bishop, California said. ‘The first step you take you think “Am I going down?”‘
Take a look at hte gallery below for some pics.
