Kind of like the new Bay Bridge in Oakland too.
It’ll fall down soon.
Or as we say in the IT world, "That's not a bug, that's a feature."

Wiley Coyote says it's perfectly safe.
What a laugh! Lame excuse. And these buildings are supposed to be earthquake-proof?

The wife and I went to the Taipei 101 that was enough of those sort of things for us even without the glass floor. If the glass glass had cracked under us, the simultaneous stroke would have done us in.
“they heard the glass flooring on its 103rd floor Skydeck begin to crack Wednesday night”
I’m kinda sure at least one of them saw his/her life flash before their eyes..
Or as Bill Cosby put it, “First you say it, then you do it.”
why would a protective coating be designed to crack? wouldn’t that end the protection?
Sounds almost as dangerous as ground level in Chicago.
Reminds me of the "galloping" bridge that ran between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, MS pre-Katrina. Some engineers noted that the spans of concrete tended to sag in the middle after a time of heavy use. They decided to "play the sag" by humping the concrete spans so that when they sagged, they would end up flat. Decades later, the humps were still there and it could make a weak stomach seasick going over it, especially in the heat of Summer when the expansion would increase the humps. Katrina did us a favor when she took that bridge out.
LOL - one of the classic lines in the history of TV!
