Tourists Were Standing On A Skydeck 103 Floors Up When The Glass Began To Shatter Beneath Their Feet

High above the streets, tourists are enjoying stunning views of the Windy City. It is June 2019 and sightseers have made their way up to the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower to look out at Chicago. Some daredevils then step out onto a glass ledge, which makes them look as though they are floating in the air.

A woman is leading her two youngsters out into the glass box. Once there, the transparent viewing platform allows the trio to look down at the people walking more than 1,300 feet below them. From out on the attraction called The Ledge, the kids can enjoy a unique experience in the sweeping panoramas of the U.S.’ third city.

Then, suddenly, there is a loud crack. The surface underneath the kids’ feet has turned into a crazy paving of splinters. For a moment, it must seem to them as though they are destined to fall to the sidewalk hundreds of feet below. Terror doubtless strikes the mother as she hustles them to safety.

Visibly shaken, the woman and her children look in horror at the floor that they were standing on. Indeed, it probably felt that they were only short seconds from disaster. From the observation deck on the 103rd floor, The Ledge appears irretrievably ruined, in a million pieces – and the exciting experience of standing out on it has turned to quivering horror.

As one of the United States’ largest cities, it’s no surprise that Chicago draws millions of visitors every year. Indeed, it ranks second after New York City as a popular tourist draw. People therefore flock there to enjoy the classy shops, many eateries and thriving culture, but it’s perhaps the famed skyline that Chicago is most known for.

Pre-eminent among Chicago’s skyscrapers is the Willis Tower. Formerly known as the Sears Tower, the building’s 110 stories make it soar 1,450 feet above the Chicago streets. And when built, it ranked as the world’s tallest building. Indeed, it would keep that spot for a quarter century, until topped by Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Twin Towers.

Nowadays, the Willis Tower remains second in the U.S., with One World Trade Center stretching higher, although these days the world’s loftiest structures tend to be in the Eastern hemisphere. Dubai’s Burj Khalifa towers above the rest at over 2,700 feet. Nevertheless, the bronzed beauty of Willis Tower represents the peak of Chicago’s long history in tall buildings.

In fact, upwards of a million people come to the tower every year to look out from its observation deck. And its pull is no wonder, since it’s a physically imposing structure. If you could find a pair of scales big enough to measure it, it would weigh more than four hundred million pounds.

Through that bulk runs cabling that stretches for 25,000 miles. And that’s nothing compared with the telephone connections. Amazingly, at about 43,000 miles, they would line the U.S. coast to coast as many as 15 times. It’s needed for the many people – in excess of 12,000 – that the building can house...and more detaills on the video
