World's No. 2 tower shows off views

The Tokyo Skytree is the world's second-tallest structure.
The Skytree has been built to stand firm even if a magnitude 7 quake were to strike beneath the building, said Sho Toyoshima, a spokesman for Tobu Tower. He said the tower sustained no structural damage from the magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off Japan\'s northeastern coast last March, even as it was being built.
