Skytree, Japan's broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Tokyo and the tallest structure in Japan at 634.0 meters (2,080 feet), is a menace to residents in the area.
The tallest tower in the world (and the second-tallest structure in the world) had some snow on it after snow on after the recent nasty storm swept through this weekend.
That snow turned to ice and broke off the tower on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, plummeting some 100 meters south and crashed through the roof of a house leaving a 30-centimeter hole covering a veranda.
No one was hurt, thank goodness.
Tokyo Skytree officials placed some 60 security guards around the tower warning passersby of possible danger from falling ice.
Although the Skytree only opened up in May of 2012, last winter there were four other incidents of falling ice crashing through homes and commercial buildings.
