I was at a presentation on the construction of the tower a few years ago and they mentioned that it was designed to withstand a direct hit from either a loaded freight train or a 747 (I think it was a 747). The tower should remain standing through either but there is a possibility that the restaurant will fall off.
They also mentioned that at the time, men and women couldn't consume alcohol in the same establishment so the province enacted an exemption if you were so many feet off the ground. (The more you know)
