Nope...it's gone. Sorry you missed it but during the recent cold weather of Miami, too much ice formed on the skyscrapers causing them all to collapse since they were built for a tropical climate.

Those two fellas had an earlier web video sensation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I5XXFqOUyA

Anyways, I was at Joe's Stone Crab about 3 weeks ago and met them, and now know why they were in town.

That was awesome. It reminded me of this video which happened to be in the window after the first video finished.

I would do anything to live in that building.

Be sure to click the video while it's playing to open the youtube site and watch it in HD!

It's now the 3rd largest skyline in the United States, behind NY & Chicago.

Yes, and Toronto is 3rd in North America, but our hold on 3rd in the U.S. is a bit tenuous without further development, which is why I'm doing what I can to try and change that.

I actually thought this one was my most insane shot. It looks as though I'm standing on the other side of the railing.
