At the Hancock Tower we entered the elevator, which took us to the skydeck at the 98 floor, by lightning speed.

When it began dawning we went up to the skydeck of the Sears Tower with a hight of 520m. Up to the end of 1995 the Sears Tower was with 110 floors the highest building in the world. Today they are the Twin Towers at Kuala Lumpur.
