My Grandmother sent me this, and I looked into it (it's real!)Would you go up there? Oh wait. There's facts, too
New Grand Canyon Sky walk
* Scheduled to open Jan. 1, 2006 Hualapai Indian Reservation
* Juts about 70 feet into the canyon, 4000 ft above the Colorado River
* Will accommodate 120 people comfortably
(Ha Ha!!!!! I can see you crawling on your hands and knees to look over the edge?)
* Built with more than a million pounds of steel beams, and includes
dampeners that minimize the structure's vibration.
* Designed to hold 72 million pounds, withstand an 8.0 magnitude
earthquake 50 miles away, and withstand winds in excess of 100 mph
