Children stand on "The Ledge" and look down through a glass floor 1,353 feet (412 meters) above Wacker Drive in Chicago July 1
A family visiting the Willis Tower's iconic Skydeck Ledge suffered the scare of their lives on Wednesday when the glass ledge they were standing on 1,353-feet above the Chicago sidewalk cracked under their feet. A spokesman for the Willis Tower said that what cracked was a protective coating on the top of three layers of glass one half-inch thick but just moments before they stepped off the 103rd floor, the Garibay family say they were told by staff the window floor was unbreakable.
