Walk on top on TO's CN tower

Topics

Toronto's CN Tower is a test for even the most extreme adrenaline junkies.

But budding dare devils now face a new challenge, as the tower's operators plan to let people walk hands-free around the outside of the 116 story structure - held in place by only a cable.

For just $175, thrill-seekers can stroll around the top of Toronto’s famous CN Tower with no guard-rail and just a 5ft (1.5m) wide see-through ledge underneath.

DUBAI - A man threw himself off the world’s tallest building in Dubai, its developer said, plummeting to his death in the first suicide from Burj Khalifa tower.

The man, believed to be in his twenties and of South Asian background, jumped from the 147th floor of the 828-metre (2,717 feet) skyscraper and landed on a terrace on the 108th floor, local daily The National reported, but those details were not confirmed by the building’s developer.

Emaar said it had a recorded an “incident involving a male“ at its Burj Khalifa site on Tuesday morning.

“The concerned authorities have confirmed that it was a suicide and we are awaiting the final report,” the statement said. It gave no further details on the incident.

The man may have worked at a company inside the 160-storey building, the paper said, adding that police said statements showed a holiday he had requested was turned down.

What do you mean by 'Knowing Canadians?'
I hope some people dont still place Canadian flags on their backpacks or buy Air Canada brand suitcases, to avoid a knife in their back.

Guess walking around with a tshirt that says Hug a Canadian isn't a good idea?

News from Buffalo, NY

quote:
Here in Buffalo, NY we are being "invaded" by Canadians who are coming here to shop and eat at our restaurants. I don't have a problem with that, but I do have a problem with the fact that they come here with their rude behavior They are rude and mean to employees at our stores, as well as other shoppers. They also leave trails of garbage behind them... they dump all the bags, plastic and boxes from what they've bought and just dump it all in the parking lot, so they can "smuggle" their new items back into Canada without paying tax.

On top of all that, they're horrible drivers (have they ever heard of a turn signal?) and horrible tippers at restaurants. The worst are the one's who come here and feel the need to tell each other (noticeably out loud) how dirty Buffalo is compared to picture perfect Toronto. They seem to have superiority complex and people in WNY are fed up of it.

Me doubt whether Canadians would want to 'brown-up' de grass near de CN Tower....me say 'IF'.

Bison is missed by Canadians on the prairie, I think the Americans shoot them all during the war of 1812, with Canada.
Now you know why so many Canadians are flocking Buffalo.

Canadian are peace loving people, they will not cause a disturbance unless they are Guyanese, Irish or French and have too much to drink.
