CN Tower in Toronto, canada
Here is a picture of the CN Tower, Toronto, the worlds tallest building at 553 meteres. As you will notice they used parallel struts under the main carousel - uncommon in structures built in the 70's.

Always blows me away how those top-heavy structures don't fall over. Must be more bouyant than they look.

They're shaped so that they create a low pressure area underneath. A bit like the wings on an aeroplane. It actually helps to hold them up. Needs a fair bit of bracing though. Some bouncing is inevitable.

Umm, would that be the 101 tower in Taipei you're talking about? Maybe you have it mixed up with the Petronas Twin Towers for some reason, Midge?

What tower? I was intrigued by the UFO in the form of a red arrow.

Now that is odd.
I was up in the Toronto tower last year looking down through the glass floor. Darn me if the view isn't better from the ground!Pete J

Imagine what's been in the letters I've written at work the last few days, and I've got a rather large payment to process today too! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Oh well, what's a few zeros and a couple of thousand miles between friends?
