High-flying bug

[mbarrick]

A bug on the outside of a 103rd-floor window of the Sears Tower, approximately 413.5 meters above street level. For the sake of a local comparison, the peak of Grouse Mountain is 1,250 metres above sea-level. If this building was placed at the base of the Grouse Grind, the top of the building would be higher than the half-way mark. The black tower in the background is the John Hancock Center.

John Hancock was one of the American "Founding Fathers". He was the first to sign the Declaration of Independece, thus the signature association.
