Downtown Toronto Attractions: CN Tower Photos and Info
CN Tower Struck by Lightning
August 13th, 2007While these videos were taken long before the new lights were installed, I thought readers of the site would still enjoy them. If you possibly missed a previous post with some photos of the CN Tower being struck by lightning, see CN Tower Hit By Lightning.
I first randomly came across this video of the CN Tower:
That led me to the following video. One of the comments was, “it is so amazing it could be fake!” Click the link below to continue.

By the way, I haven’t personally been up the CN Tower this year, but I was just thinking about the CN Tower Glass Floor today and how scary that really is. I’m not afraid of heights but it took me a lot of nerve to really jump on it. And while you’re staring straight down 1 122 feet, this fact certainly won’t put you at ease: The glass floor is only 2.5 inches thick! If you haven’t been on it yourself, just wait until you do! Something that will put you at ease though, is that the glass floor of the CN Tower is five times stronger than the commercial standard for floors. It can easily hold the weight of fourteen hippos.

CN Tower Hit By Lightning
July 27th, 2007Wonder what it’s like to be the world’s tallest lightning rod?
“Lightning strikes the CN Tower an average of 75 times per year. Long copper strips, running down the CN Tower, feed into massive grounding rods buried below ground level. They ensure that each lightning strike safely finds its way to ground.”
Would you risk taking your date to dinner in the CN Tower 360 Restaurant on a rainy day? Common-sense says, yes.

As the photographer mentions, the two CN Tower photos are “taken from slightly different angles, but they’re close enough to offer an appropriate contrast”.
Please note: the CN Tower Lighting Policy has been recently updated, as have the Frequently Asked Questions about Toronto’s tower. The 2007 Lighting Schedule is up to date.
