Step out on glass at Sears Tower & Grand Canyon

Sears Tower, at the top of the tallest building in Chicago, is now featuring a walk in the sky. Well, it’s more like venturing on onto a four-foot box of clear glass on its 103rd Floor Skydeck. If you’re brave enough to go, you can see the city in all of its glory 1,353 feet below you.

Chicago isn’t called the Windy City for nothing, so you can imagine how it will feel when you’re out there and the box begins to sway. There’s a similar, but much more way-out glass deck feature now available for tourist visitors at the Grand Canyon. So, if you’re tempted to step out on the transparent suicide ledge either at the Sears Tower in Chicago and/or the Grand Canyon, go ahead. You’re already old, so what do you have to lose?
Scanning The Future: Airport And In-Air Holograms PDF Print E-mail


Scientific reports now predict that by 2020, lifelike full-size holograms will be so realistic that they’ll be a major entertainment feature for travelers. You’ll be able to interact with projections of scenes and stars of the past as if you were part of the act.

Instead of spending lonely hours in airports or aboard flights, you’ll experience being in the midst of what feels like live action. Broadway stages, Hollywood movie sets, sunny beaches, endless deserts, towering mountains, schussing ski trails, exotic cruises and much more. Just imagine you’ll be able to rock with the Beatles, sing with Satchmo and roam the trails with John Wayne. Enjoy working on the waterfront with Marlon Brando, swim with Esther Williams, shake with Elvis and croon with Sinatra.

Of course, it must all end when you need to deplane, claim your baggage and try to hail a taxi.
