  • ...don't drop a bowling ball on the floor.

  • i can see my house

  • I hear Mr. Burns commanding "release the floor!"

  • What if the glass broke?

  • i remember when i went there i was the only one man enough to stop on the glass

  • @liljim4645 Omg, your so brave, marry me please...

  • @DubbamanChris sorry i meant to say stomp on the glass...plus if your a boy im not gay

  • I remember going on it I was jumping laying sitting spinning .. While my grandpa only put half of his foot on it while holdin on to a bar. Lol! It was funny

  • if you thinks thats scary, take the glass elevator up the cn tower and walk in the glass floor, it is alot taller then the sears tower

  • I think i went on the same exact ledge...... CHICAGO RULES!! DANG YOU 52 DISLIKE PPL ........ I NOW HATE U

  • Does the Sears Tower has a restaurant?

  • "why you scawaed" lol

  • Force equals mass times gravity, So a 68.04Kg (150 pounds) person fell off and accelerated at 9.8 meters per second they would hit the ground with about 667Kg-meters of force after about 40 seconds of freefall. You would have almost one minute to realize you are falling and have more than enough force to crack the sidewalk. I think I'll stay on the ground.

  • When I went to The tower for band trip, i jumped on the glass box and I scared the crap out of people I didn't need to get use to it

  • When i was in chicago, i went on this. It is freakin scary!!! It took me like, an hour to get used to. Then, my fear went away till i was jumping up and down and laying down on the glass, and, the scariest, leaning backwards on the side. Some lady said i was being annoying cuz i was jumping. I think she was just afraid it would break. Wuss.

  • what if that box broke?? holyyy shiiitt!! =O

  • Sears tower forever.

  • what the fuck is the "willis tower"?

  • How abt glass ledges at the top of the Burj Dubai.......HOLY SHHHIIIIIITTTT!!!

  • when i was a kid i used to be really Really scared to go near anything that is glass/or off the ledge related whats that phobia called again

  • I wonder what happend if you stay there and jump

  • I sooooooo want to do that but im scared of heights :( But I would go out it anyway

  • @PenguinsRule990

    Don't worry about it!! There's no possible way of getting hurt up there. It's just a window pretty much! =]

  • REAL CHICAGOAN'S STAND UP. IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SEARS TOWER!

  • went ther on my 8th grade trip chicago is expensive but fun

  • i was there back in 98 and again in 01 and it will always be Sears Tower to me, not Willis Tower.

  • 50 people were too scared to go on "the ledge"

  • @richard21solava yeah still there

  • @richard21solava

    It's still there! Why wouldn't you be able to?

  • Comment removed

  • I can't even watch this without my knees shaking...

  • @Bosnianbulldawgs i been up there its safe trust me its pretty cool at night also

  • It's supposed to hold 5 tons, but what happens if someone drops a hard metal object on the floor? Glass can withstand a lot of force, but it's brittle, so a sharp blow can cause it to shatter.

  • @Bosnianbulldawgs its rocket science

  • AWSOME!!,, im an ironworker from boston,, our tallest building is 790 feet tall which is a little more than half the height of the SEARS, but its true,, its almost cartoonish at this height, some people would be more affraid of being 100 feet over a street cause at 100 feet its very REALISTIC, at this height,, most people whove ridden in an airplane have seen out the damn window, i would DIE to Actually Erect a building like this,, the Union Ironworkers of chicago in 1973 are very lucky

  • is there a weight limit to this glass.

  • @nate247able i think its around 2,000 pounds, or four people from wisconsin

  • @camaro76 no, 4 people from texas

  • i went there in june 2010

  • how about pushing osama bin laden off this ledge

  • Looks like a tremendous liability factor!

  • Oh HYour Not Scared Huh. And then I Jump up and Down they fall through hahahahaha. little shits

  • @SSJSasuke777 when i went their some dude was jumping on it i was like daymn screw that lmao

  • i want to live in this glass box on the sears tower

  • i heard it supports up to five tons

  • i think i know a guy fat enuf to shatter tht shit

  • Great parenting!! Haven't we learned yet that "glass fails"? I wouldn't trust to put my kids on a steel platform there.....but glass?

  • @FreeBlago1 Wow sucks to be your kids. Are you this fucking lame about everything you do in life?

  • @FreeBlago1 that's not the glass you may be thinking of. its made of three sheets of glass laminated together that are each half an inch thick. if you couldn't safely put the weight of at least ten adults on there i guarantee they would not have installed it.

  • @FreeBlago1 Keep your kids wrapped in bubble wrap and foam peanuts then?

  • @cappermeh wouldn't it be cool if you never posted on YT again, or better yet, never took another breath of my air?

  • @tyrai way too high, I want to push that ungrateful cunt off of a 3 story building!

  • Would'nt it be cool if someone build lika a 60 stories tall building and made all the floors of glass? You cud see what's happens on every floor :P

  • T'd walking in there like a cat . and if someone jump , I'd spear it in the air with one deadly finger strike technique . so , just don't try it .

    but what if somebody drop a camera or another metallic sharp edges object ? what do you do ? freeze time ?

  • no thanks

  • IIIIIIII'm Not scareeeeeeeeeeeeed

  • @.@ UGH I SHOULDVE GONE ON THIS><

  • You guys think this is frightening, you've seen nothing yet.... Try going on of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.... Lord, I shit my pants on those rides.

  • lol the cloud is like..........RIGHT THERE

  • This will always be the Sears Tower to me. I grew up in the 70's and 80's.

    Willis Tower just sounds lame

  • @macroevolve

    This will always be the Sears Tower to me too. I didn't grow up in the 70's and 80's, but I grew up hearing that. Willis Tower..doesn't make sense.

  • @macroevolve i don't know why they want to recall the tower "willis tower", it's stupid, the tower is too emblematic to be renamed like a simple office building... and the owner of the tower doesn't matter, look at the chrysler building, it does'nt belong to chrysler since 1950, but it has kept the name... so why not doing the same for sears ???

  • @macroevolve agreed

  • love this video

    love u!<3

  • I got a video of that too! IT IS SCARY!

  • its like, 8 inch thisk galss and can suport something like 8 tons or something like that, i went on it on my trip to chicogo, i layed down on the glass and it was freaky

  • haha i waz up there wit my cuz.....some scaryy shit man

  • 46 people disliked and have never been to Chicago...

  • Went on the glass box yesterday. Really fun, you babies who haven't done it are missing out.

  • ahhhhh is that a see-through floor i see.....sssscccaaarrrryyy

  • I might be going on this next month. I'm afraid of heights too, this will be freaky for me.

  • That bottom glass would scare the crap out of me!

  • that has to be scary are hell in a thunder storms 

  • i was so scared to go on thatt

  • IMMA BE THERE SUNDAY 6/4 =O I HOPE ITS NOT RAINING

  • I went to Chicago 2 yrs ago and went up the Sears Tower - just wish the ledge was there then!

  • FUCK that.

  • We were there too. We just came around the corner after it happened...didn't know what caused it though

  • I would post my pic but I dont know how to on here

  • ok pic is my profile pic...so if you click my name you will see the cracked floor

  • I swear to god it cracked when i was there today! a guy dropped a paperweight and the thing cracked. NO JOKE. I swear on my life i saw it i have pictures and ill upload them.

  • @80sbandsrock i was there too!!! i was in the skydeck to the left of the one that cracked. i think i have photos too. so, it was a paperweight. we were trying to figure out what it was that cracked it. i took photos from street level too looking up after they put carpet over the cracked deck.

  • It's not that bad once you step on it. Though, the glass box shakes, and it's kind of disorientating, because your brain is telling you that you are going to die. It's worth the twenty dollars.

  • ive lived in chicago all my life and just the other day i went to the top of the "willis tower" for the first time, and walked on that, it was scary the 1st time

  • no thanks, i will stay off that.

  • I Will Always Call This The Sears Tower! Ive Lived In Chicago All My Life, And Tommorow Im Gonna Go In There.. :) Wish Me Luck!

  • i star at that thing whenever i drive past there. i'm not afraid of heights but that just seems like you're asking to fall off a building

  • I got over my fear of flying in 2009, yet you still wouldn't pay me to set foot in that box. Nooooooooo thank you! <:(

  • i miss chicago! i live in stupid kansas! damn but going in 4 spring break! wooohoooo! go CHICAGO!!!!

  • Great skyscraper.

  • I work a block away from there on Canal and have lived on the South Side for 25 years but I have never set foot in the there... Yet I've been to the top of the Empire State Building. What a moron I am.

  • I went on this yesterday

  • I will never understand phobias......I mean....u see the kids standing there and they are not falling to their deaths....but you are still scared.

  • ya it will never change in my mind

  • lol idc i still call it the sears tower

  • yea whyd they change the name?

  • I think at times from the Sears Tower you can see into Michagan

  • i always wanted to go up their i could posibly do that without peeing my pants :\

  • I went to the skydeck about a month before they opened this. We actually were on the 99th floor deck instead of the 103rd floor deck due to the construction.

  • You know how they say your biggest fears fade when confronted?

    Well i confronted it and they lied.

    I stood on that thing for 20 minutes and im still scared to shit of heights. I can handle heights but jesus god i get scared

  • id jump up and down. haha. it would be dreamy to romance a girl on the "ledge"

  • i want there for a field trip in 8th grade. one of the most memorable sites of my life. we went at night and the lights seem to go on without end. the skydeck is amazing. i hope to see it again one day.

  • The daughter asking the mom why she's scared.  That is too cute.

  • CONVERSE!!!!

  • @Tyrai hehe nice one!

  • @Tyrai LMAO! It's like you read my mind!

  • And as a 200 pound fat kid comes in, he trips over his laces, his massive body falling on the glass, and shattering it with 20 other people.

    That would be an epic fail.

  • @TheAbysmalDawn

    lol your comments are funny.

    My heart pounds and I feel uneasy watching. Me going up there? Not a chance.

  • @TheAbysmalDawn 200 pounds isn't fat...

  • @TheAbysmalDawn you could take a bat to this glass wont break

  • @TheAbysmalDawn Or an epic win

  • @TheAbysmalDawn epic *fall* lmao

  • @TheAbysmalDawn

    The sadistic side of me laughs heartily at your comment, sir. XD

  • @TheAbysmalDawn

     the reason he'd trip on his laces is because since he's so big, he cant even see his own shoes

  • i would've lmao if the glass broke!

  • I would probably pass out, I am deathly afraid of heights

  • Only thing that goes through my mind, how about if the glass breaks?!
