In the future, without proper PPE on, no one ought to be near the sites of construction for builds of anything as tempting as it may be to watch due to safety reasons.

I remember when i was a kid, me and my father watched this while eating ice cream. He always promised we would go there together some day. Sadly he passed away a few years ago and we never went. This has been my favorite documentary ever since, RIP Dad.

My dad would take me down at different times as an eight/ nine year old to show me the towers progress and then take me to McDonalds…. Miss those days and especially my dad who died in 77 in a construction accident…. Go figure. R.I.P.

Toronto needs to step up their game and regain the record either by building a new tower and or adding on to the CN tower to make it larger so that it can be made taller. Might as well shoot for over a kilometer.
