HI

here  are the crazy facts about the John Hancock Observatory that i found on google:

1. It takes 2 men 40 hours to change every light bulb on the 99th floor
2. Omelet king Howard Helmer - the worlds fastest omelet chef- whips up his quickest dish in 4o seconds. With the nations fastest elevators you'll arrive at the top floor of the John Hancock Center ( aka the observatory from which you can even see other states) in 39 seconds while he's still cooking! :)
3. The hero of the movie Iron Man may be able to fly to the observatory but birds stop at 500 ft . So don't expect to see one eye to eye up here!
4. If you melted all the metal in the John Hancock Center you could make 96 tour buses!
5. There are 1632 steps from the main lobby to the observatory on level 94. You would have to walk up or down Michigan Avenue Plaza over 58 times for the equivalent walk!
6. During the 36 month construction period,some 5 nillion man-hours where required to complete the center.
   

Pretty amazing huh? There are more facts but my hands are tired now :)
