Some people are rather skeptical about that one:

I'm not sure what to think myself... Could very well be perfectly on
schedule all the same, the construction of something like that looks to

All the same... I wanna visit! On my first trip to the CN Tower's glass
floor, in my grade 4 class, I did a big running jump smashing down onto
it. Horrified my teacher even if I only weighed 90 pounds back then...
