Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday CN Tower, happy birthday to you! It was June 26, 30 years ago, that the CN Tower was finally built. Today marks the 30th birthday of the CN Tower, which is still the tallest free standing structure in the world. I've been to the CN Tower several times, last time being 2003. It's quite amazing how it can withstand winds and an earthquake of magnitude 8.5. It also boasts the best radio and telecommunications signal in the world, which was one of the reasons for building the CN Tower.
Of course, the CN Tower is not going to be the tallest free standing structure in the world for long anymore. Apparently, the tower being built in Dubai will be much taller, about 700 metres (CN Tower is 553 metres). Still, it is the CN Tower that marks the landmark of Toronto, and that will never change.
Here's a video clip of the celebration broadcasted from CTV news.
