by Ever wanted to know what it might be like to fly? If yes, then take a trip to the Sears Tower in Chicago! Climb your way up to the 103rd floor and experience what it’s like to walk 1353 feet in the air while walking on the Skywalk. Made up of several glass boxes that jut out of the building, each box can hold up to 4 or 5 people. Each box rests on conveyer belts that can retract or push out, allowing for easy access for cleaning maintenance.
Now for the bigger question is. Why can’t the Hancock Tower have something similar? Although, not as tall as the Sears Tower and currently closed to the public – minor setbacks – the Hancock Tower does have an observatory that offers sweeping views of the city. If similar skyboxes were installed on the Hancock Tower it could offer Boston a new type of tourist attraction. What do you think? Would you want a skywalk in Boston?
