Glass balcony in Chicago skyscraper

On the 103th floor of the SEARS Tower skyscraper in Chicago, there is one of the most unusual in the world of viewing sites. The most interesting element is a fully glass balcony, discovering outwards. From a strong transparent material, even the floor is made in this architectural element, which gives it a special extreme.

Five years it was believed that this glass floor is absolutely safe for visitors. But recently there was an emergency situation - the steadfast glass burst into it. It cost, of course, no victims. But the company, which is the operator of this observation deck in Sears Tower, has taken steps to never happen again - it has established even stronger and thick glass.

And if the SEARS Tower skyscraper was commissioned in Chicago in 2009, in Moscow for several decades there is an observation deck with a glass floor. It is located at an altitude of 337 meters in the Ostankino television.

But this is not a balcony. The glass floor on the observation platform in the remaining is built into separate blocks in the ordinary floor. Each of these elements is designed to withstand weight up to 10 tons.

However, a few years ago, the path in this place was even more terrible and dangerous. After all, the modern tourist path is located on the site of the old path of monks who lived in these mountains. And they did not have any glass floor and safe railing - they went on separate protrusions, clinging for the ropes outstretched between them.

Futuristic species Shop Apple in New York has become the first building from a huge network entangled by the whole world. He spawned a lot of imitation across the planet.
