Developers in London are building what they claim is the world's first "sky pool" — a 25-meter-long swimming pool suspended 10 stories in the air between two blocks of luxury flats. The transparent pool at Embassy Gardens will be three meters deep with a water depth of 1.2 meters, and will be constructed with the help of aquarium designers using 20-cm-thick glass. The pool will allow residents to swim between the development's roof-top bar, spa, and orangery (a walkway will be available as well), with prices for apartments and penthouses in the complex starting at £602,000 ($942,572).

"It will feel like floating through the air in central London."
"My vision for the sky pool stemmed from a desire to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering. I wanted to do something that had never been done before," said Sean Mulryan

Well, of course....she’s part of an “effective team!” :0)
No thanky. Like living.
I agree. It was one of the better movies I had seen in the past 5 years.
Agree....also with VS....it blew chunks.
Unveiled swimming women in it will enrage the muzzies.
So I like the idea!
It had better be bullet proof.
No cannonballs!
Nah, TC carried the heart of Reacher. I am a fan of Lee Child’s books and Cruise would fit the bill for nearly all of them. Maybe his ego filled the 1’ gap...
I’ve read the 20 something Reacher books and couldn’t agree more. I don’t care if cruise got the “essence” of Reacher down, or not. He just doesn’t fit.
‘Tis since the earthquake now eleven years;
And she was wean’d,—I never shall forget it,—
Of all the days of the year, upon that day.... Romeo and Juliet

IMHO, Collateral Damage was his best performance in the last 15 years.
Reacher was good if you had not read the books. His stature just did not fit the description of the character in the books. Six feet four, blond hair, 240 lbs in his mid 30’s.
However, he did a fine acting job.
IIRC, the was Arnold not Tom.
“As God is my witness, I thought performing dolphins would stay in the pool!”
‘Ats whot I was thinkin’.
4 ft. Belly-button depth. OK, Tom Cruise might drown standing up, but for normal people it's too shallow.
In that case, I concur. Fantastic film and superb acting.
