Freaky Willis Tower Sway Video

Watch doors open and close Friday inside the Willis Tower because of the wind.


Wind speeds through the city of Chicago reached upwards of 60 miles per hour Friday and caused city skyscrapers to sway. The winds also blew out windows in some skyscrapers, sending glass falling onto busy city streets, including Lake, Randolph and Wacker.

The observation decks in the Willis Tower and the Hancock Building were both closed Friday.
