3. I don't have a particular fear of heights
but that glass floor is a little unnerving.

20. It was like that on top of the World Trade Center
Got off the elevator and my then 3 year old ran to the edge and started jumping up and down going "weeeee". I froze. My husband got her and I went back down to street level. Jeez, I'll never forget that!
I know it was safe but I was so terrified being that high up I just freaked. I think back now when those planes hit...those poor people who worked up there and couldn't get down and out of there. :cry:

11. The very first one and the very last one...and the bicycle one

13. I don't mind the glass floor, and heights are fine as long proper precautions
(my idea of proper) are taken - but a few of those are freaky! Especially the dude sitting on the ledge and the bikers... :scared:
