Technicians plan to more fully inspect the structure as soon as building maintenance cleans up the 3” deep layer of human fecal matter.

Toronto has it where one can be directly over the Bluejays diamond baseball field. That is something, you are hundreds or thousands of feet above it.

Ri-i-i-i-ight. Take a look at the photos and you’ll see the familiar cracking pattern of safety glass just before it blows out. These folks were lucky, lucky, lucky.
To: Olog-hai
Designed to crack, oh that sounds likely.

If it would’ve happened to me, they would have had to send a cleaning crew.

Wonder if it's from the same glass company that did the Grand Canyon skywalk...

Why would the glass be designed to crack? Doesn’t it make sense to think that the cracking so high up will scare people witless????? Because visitors to the building won’t think it’s supposed to crack under their feet.
To: Olog-hai
It’s double or triple pane. The only one that cracked was the top pane. Probably by design, over a period of time.
Of course, in collapsing buidings there’s something known as “pancaking”...
...but nah, that can’t happen with panes of glass...

The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet above the ground and jut out 4 feet from the building. They're actually more like boxes than balconies, with transparent walls, floor and ceiling. I have absolutely no desire to stand on a tiny piece of glass 1353 feet above splat level.
Is that wrong?

re: Chicago Skydeck on 103rd floor begins to crack under family
Holy Moly! Now that begs two questions.
1: How big is that family?
2: How big are that family?

“they heard the glass flooring on its 103rd floor Skydeck begin to crack Wednesday night”
I’m kinda sure at least one of them saw his/her life flash before their eyes..

why would a protective coating be designed to crack? wouldn’t that end the protection?
