	Skyscraper Safety Campaign
		The Skyscraper Safety Campaign (SSC) was created by the Regenhard Family in memory of Christian Michael Otto Regenhard, a 28 year old Probationary Firefighter who remains missing at the WTC, along with his entire Engine Company 279, to this date.
		In two congressional hearings in March and May of 2002 regarding the collapse of the WTC, Congress determined that the aftermath of the 9/11 collapse was characterized by the absence of a comprehensive investigation, a lack of cooperation and no clear lines of authority among the federal, state and NYC governments.
		The use of the name of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign or names of its members to endorse any statement, organization, or purpose is prohibited, unless explicit permission has been given by the Skyscraper Safety Campaign.

	55. Skyscraper. Sandburg, Carl. 1916. Chicago Poems
		Prairie and valley, streets of the city, pour people into it and they mingle among its twenty floors and are poured out again back to the streets, prairies and valleys.
		A young watchman leans at a window and sees the lights of barges butting their way across a harbor, nets of red and white lanterns in a railroad yard, and a span of glooms splashed with lines of white and blurs of crosses and clusters over the sleeping city.
		By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars and has a soul.

	Skyscraper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The somewhat arbitrary term skyscraper should not be confused with the slightly less arbitrary term highrise, defined by the Emporis Data Committee as "a building which is 35 metres [115 feet] or greater in height, and is divided at regular intervals into occupiable floors" [1].
		Today, skyscrapers are an increasingly common sight where land is scarce, as in the centres of big cities, because of the high ratio of rentable floor space per area of land.
		Skyscrapers are also considered the ultimate symbols of a city's economic power, a view first held by New Yorkers, and now by developers in many newly developed Asian economies.

	Skyscraper History
		And with this new building method, the skyscraper was born and the race for the tallest building began.
		Skyscrapers are built to last, so they must be made of materials that are strong; durable; resistant to the sun, wind, rain, frost, and snow; and affordable.
		Among the early skyscrapers in Manhattan were the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower (700 feet, 50 stories), the Woolworth Building (the world's tallest from 1913-1930 at 792 feet, 60 stories), the Bank of Manhattan (927 feet, 71 stories), and the heavily decorated Chrysler Building (briefly the world's tallest in 1930 at 1046 feet, 77 stories).

	World's first skyscraper museum opens - (United Press International) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Another text notes that skyscraper construction is cyclical, the tallest towers appearing at the end of a boom when escalating land prices drive up the height of new buildings to make them financially viable.
		Skyscraper construction is more difficult than any other kind, since neighboring buildings have to be shored up and precautions taken against interruption of water, gas, and electrical services in the immediate area.
		Other exhibits include skyscraper postcards of the "wish you were here" variety, handsome brochures used to market buildings, and an amazing photograph of 1,223 construction workers massed on the floors of the unfinished 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza building in 1959 at a cost of $10,000 in lost work time.

	Skyscraper Ad - definition, information, sites, articles.
		Skyscraper ads are tall -- very tall -- with heights often ranging from 500 to 800 pixels (and widths often ranging from 120 to 160 pixels).
		The standard skyscraper is 120x600 and the wide skyscraper is 160x600.
		Skyscraper ads are often called skyscraper banners, although some examples have mimicked the look of a banner by using a combination of ad buttons and text.

		Today, the data suggests that skyscrapers will be the most successful of the new IAB size units, as about 21 percent of all sites offer the larger unit, and total skyscraper impressions -around 280 million- account for nearly 2 percent of all ad impressions online.
		The skyscraper is currently served on three times as many sites as the IAB's "square" java-enable ad, and has more than six times as many impressions than the "rectangle" standard unit.
		The larger size of the skyscraper allows for more creative flexibility, but unlike the smaller ad types, the skyscraper can really only fit on the margins of a web page, making it easy to overlook.

	Finding the height of a skyscraper with a barometer
		"You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground.
		Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper."
		"Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up."

	David Lee Roth Skyscraper - Buy used cds, rare vinyl records, LPs and music albums
		Despite the inspired choice of charismatic sidemen Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan, the video images that accompanied his first solo album were more memorable than most of the tunes.
		"Skyscraper," built on a solid bass foundation, is an admirable stretch, but Roth just doesn't have the range as a singer or lyricist to transform what was probably a genuine and breathtaking real-life experience into a soaring cut (the annoying echo on his vocals doesn't help, either).

		The lyrics, including the chorus ("Miles away, just up ahead/ It doesn't matter just what/ Any of us is looking for/ We'll never find it because/ It's not even there") are a shockingly precise complement to the music, conjuring images of driving through open spaces and mountain air.
		After "Dynamite Walls," Skyscraper National Park levels into a sonic consistency of subdued melodies and sparse instrumentation.
		Although its best moments don't reach quite the altitudes of his prior releases, Skyscraper National Park, as a whole, is the most complete and coherent album in Hayden's catalog, a delightful listen from track one through track eleven.

		The tower, announced Wednesday, will use the Persian Gulf's abundant sunshine to power the building's slow rotation that brings it full circle once a week, said Nick Cooper, a British engineer designing the rotation mechanism.
