Not content with having the tallest building in America, the owners of Sears Tower in Chicago have installed four glass box viewing platforms which stick out of the building 103 floors up.
The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's Skydeck.
'Look at all those tiny things that are usually huge.'
Thrillseekers: The boxes jut out four feet from the building and were specifically designed to make visitors feel as if they are floating
The balconies are 10ft high and 10ft wide, can hold five tons, and have glass which is 1.5 inch thick
The Skydeck attracts 25,000 visitors on clear days. They each pay $15 to take an elevator ride up to the 103rd floor of the 110-story office building that opened in 1973.
