Old Skyscraper, New Thrills

What's a skyscraper to do when it loses its rank as the world's tallest building? The Sears Tower in Chicago has added a daring new attraction: The Ledge.

Suspended 1,353 feet over the City, the Ledge is a series of glass boxes that jut 4.3 feet from the Sears Tower Skydeck. Visitors who are courageous enough to step onto the Ledge have the dizzy sensation of floating in mid-air.
