The Sears Tower opened “The Ledge” to the public yesterday. The Ledge is a 4-foot glass balcony that’s suspended 1,353 feet above the ground on the 103rd floor. It provides a panoramic view of Chicago, provided the walls aren’t covered in accidents.

Fun fact: Urine spilled from the 103rd floor can break concrete on the sidewalk below. And not just if you drank a jackhammer, but seems like it helps.  Ha ha!

How about adopting the see-through glass balcony in India?

Some more breathtaking and heart-stopping vista images of the streets and the buildings of Chicago.

The Sears Tower has always been about superlatives — tallest, largest, most iconic," he said. "Today is also about superlatives. Today, we present you with 'the Ledge,' the world's most awesome view, the world's most precipitous view, the view with the most wow in the world."
