The tallest building in the US, Sears tower in Chicago, has unveiled its latest dizzying attraction - glass balconies, one and half inch thick, suspended more than 1,300 feet in the air.

The balconies jut out four feet from the building's 103rd floor, the Skydeck.

They are already proving a hit with visitors, who are given the impression they are floating over the city.
