World's Tallest Building December 2009

Get off your fucking soapbox - you're no better with your moronic assumption... your crack on the south only proves your furor is misplaced.

Now, that stated.

Someone climb it.

Oh yeah, my apologies, the south actually is the beacon of hope for all minorities, and is the face of America and of the upcoming 2010.

The Amazing Race were there in the season that just finished airing so it would have been taped a few months earlier. Teams took an elevator to the 124th floor and stepped out onto a balcony.

The Family Edition visited the CN Tour in the final leg.

The second floor observation pod was closed the day we were there because of high winds. I did, however walk on the glass floor similar to your photo. I couldn't look down and it gave me a queasy feeling just walking across it.

Still, simply walking on the glass floor without looking down is a great achievement all on its own.

Too bad about the second pod, though. As amazing as the view is on the lower pod, the upper pod view is simply mind-boggling. I was up there several decades ago, not long after the Tower was opened, and thinking about it now made me rethink a statement I made earlier about visitors being able to walk out on the deck of the lower pod. Instead, I remember now that I have some 8mm film footage looking down from the second pod and seeing workmen out on the deck of the lower pod.

This photo isn't mine, but it looks down from the upper pod to the deck of the lower pod. The oval white building in the upper right is the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome). Below is a photo of the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre with the sliding roof open.
