May 3, 2009: Glass Floor
 
Oh dear, ladies. Until now you've only had to worry about the glass ceiling, now this.
You now have to worry about the glass floor, if you don't want the perverts looking up your skirt...





... from 1,353 feet below.

I realize they have a glass floor out at the Grand Canyon, but there's not likely to be anyone below and you're not likely to be wearing a skirt.

…these new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city - 103 stories, or 1,353 feet, below. Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June.
Good thing it's in Chicago, where they have an honest local government with top notch building inspectors to insure your safety.

I hope they have drainage on that thing cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one that would piss himself dry on that thing.

I noticed it says, "these new glass enclosures", I wonder how many there are?

And close a few moments after the first patrons hit the pavement.




"Hey it must be popular. A lot of people go out and never come back in".

"What's that noise?"

"It sounds like dwindling screams."

We have one similar in Melbourne, the Eureka Tower..the worlds tallest Residential building, with skydeck and viewing *cube*.

Its awesome, but I near crapped myself when the cube moved.

I can barely even look at the picture. I certainbly cuoldn't stand on it. It gives me vertigo just thinking about it. I found the glass lift at the Bolton branch of Debenhem's difficult enough.

I doubt anyone could see up your skirt, if you happened to be wearing one, from that height.

maybe with a great BIG shoe mirror!

Did you miss the part about opening in June?

Now that's scary. I wonder if they'll install a 'no fat people' sign.

xoxoxoBruce 05-03-2009 02:10 PM

Of course not, they make the best splat. :haha:
