This tower has probably been posted and talked about before, but these pictures give you more of an idea of size.

More Pics

They are already planning a bigger tower to be built nearby.

I can not think of anything that would get me to the top of that. I do not do hieghts AT ALL. When I check into a hotel I let them know ahead of time nothing over the 2nd story.

x2 on the heights - No Way.

Hope they have a decent air force cuz that would outdo WTC as a target to the whackjobs...

Eiffel Tower is really creepy
When you're going to the top, up that center shaft, the elevator is glass

I can't look
I stare at the ceiling until I get to the top

No thanks! Even flying I have to get as f-ed up as I think they will let me on the plane and sit on the isle staring at the ceiling.

I don't think I'm particularly scared of heights...but...a few years back, I went to Vegas and did the swinger and superman rides on top that building. I think my major concern was the swinger thing hangs out over the side of the building and there's nothing between your feet and asphalt. Was worried about losing my shoe...

That and wondering just how good the maintenance was on that thing.

That's the best post I have seen in awhile. I'm pretty sure that I would not work in that building....of course it would depend on how hungry I was. Imagine a mm off on the base floor!

I work as a union Iron Worker and let me tell you that it is a rush to go to work everyday !!


I have seen some guys come out to the job site and when they get up on the Iron and there looking down like 1000 feet there knees start a shaking and they get back in the man lift and are out of there lol.....I was scared a bit at first but you do get used to it and it gets better over time but some people just cant even get over it at all........An old school Iron worker once told me that when you are not scared anymore you are in trouble lol.....


I would love to be hanging off the side of that building doing a full pen weld though !!!!!!!

pen's are old skool anymore. No one uses them. Go with shimano if you really want to catch something good.

Oh, and it looks like you got owned as well. Har!

Scariest ride I have ever been on (the roller coaster up there)...I don't think I went on (that ride) what you are talking about, but....

Went on the Big Shot, and then rode the f'n roller coaster...I about pissed in my pants how scary that is.
