    You’d think that the engineer who put together the vertigo-inducing glass-bottom floor on the balcony of the Willis Tower had a bit of a bad day when installing the super-important safety glass.

    The transparent 103rd balcony, which has become a tourist attraction in Chicago, cracked while a family was posing for a picture.

    ‘I had my palms on the floor and I could feel it cracking,’ said Alejandro Garibay, who was posing for pictures at the time with his brother and two cousins. ‘Honestly, I was in shock, in disbelief.  I was scared.’

    ‘Even now I can’t believe it, it’s hard to believe.’

    ‘Especially when they said it’s unbreakable.’

    Yes, Alejandro – “unbreakable”, just like the “unsinkable” Titanic and the “invincible” Spanish Armada. People just throw words around that don’t really mean anything.
