That's what I was going to write. People invariably give credit to the 1st famous/public example when for all we know there could have been hundreds before it.

For example, I invented the minivan 4 years before Chrysler.

crap It didnt work... Could someone post a pic of the 87 Canada cup Trophy.... and then picture it as a 850 foot tower/..... It would be a National symbol world famous.... A London Shard But Better!!!!! All the 87 team would have to sign the corner stone...LOL ( the greatest team ever assembled by one nation??

that tower is very skinny for 150m... I suggest you make the floorplate a bit bigger
