Glass Fell From The CN Tower Yesterday Due To Some Powerful Winds & Honestly Yikes (VIDEO)
It is now reopened for business.
The powerful winds in Toronto on Thursday packed quite a punch and it knocked the CN Tower so hard that glass fell from the iconic landmark.
One of the glass panels along the sides of the tower shattered from the mighty winds in the city. The winds were so high that Environment Canada even issued a special weather statement for the 6ix as gusts were expected to blow somewhere between 70 to 90 km/h.
"Due to a report of falling debris, please be advised that the CN Tower is currently closed and areas surrounding the CN Tower have been closed as a precaution. The CN Tower team has identified the source of debris and have secured the area," officials at the landmark tweeted in a statement Thursday afternoon.
