You can see the CN Tower on the first page of the paper.
The CN Tower is a key element in Canada;s telecommunications network, provides space for microwave transmission of voice, telex, computer data, facsimile, television, and radio.
At 553.33 meters the CN Tower is considered the world;s tallest free-standing structure. Construction took 40 months, cost $57 millions, employed 1573 workers, and was completed in June 1976. A slender column resembling a giant needle, it weight 132080 metric tons - the equivalent of 23214 large elephants.
Visitors can step inside one of four glass-faced elevators and be whisked to the Skypod Observation level in under a minute. There are three observation decks, at 342,346, and 447 meters aboveground, the world;s highest public observation gallery. Each of these offers panoramic views of Toronto, the Toronto Islands, and, on a clear day, Niagara Falls. Spectacular views are also to be had from Top Of Toronto, a restaurant at the 350-metre level that makes A full revolution once every 72 minutes. Those who prefer to dine on the ground level can enjoy a snack in the family - style restaurant.
The CN Tower has the longest metal staircase in the world (2570 steps), which is made available to the public each year for a charity stair climb. Dar Robinson has jumped from the top of the tower twice - once with a parachute for the filming of the movie «Highpoint» (1979) and once using a wire cable for the TV show «That;s Incredible». On the tower;s tenth anniversary, «Spider Man» Goodwin completed two free - style climbs outside the glass elevator-shaft window.
