Seeing The Tallest Structures In The World

RSG has been to the top of the Empire State Building, Willis Tower, CN Tower, and the Space Needle. But, he hopes to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa, and the Tokyo Sky Tree. The Tokyo Sky Tree is going to be the "World's No. 2 tallest free standing structure", when it opens in May 2012. This structure will stand at 634 meters (2,080 feet) with special technology to handle earthquakes. It has a restaurant and two cafes on the observation decks, a vertigo-inducing glass floor that allows visitors to look straight down, and an emergency staircase with 2,523 steps. The needle-like radio and television tower opens to the public on May 22, 2012. The city of Tokyo hopes it will also become a new tourist destination in Tokyo. The structure was designed to handle an earthquake, with the magnitude of a 7 on the Richter scale. There are other buildings, which RSG has been to the top of. One World Trade Center is another building, which he would like to go to the top of. This building will rise to 1,776 feet in the middle of 2012. It will have a spire on top of it, which will make it the tallest building in the US. It is being constructed in the same area, as the original Twin Towers. More than 12 years ago, RSG went into the basement and ground level of the Twin Towers. One day, it would be great to go to the top of the One World Trade Center. Dreams can happen!
