Chicago Night Aerial

[@ChthonicRemains]

Chicago's skyline is miles better than any American city and perhaps the world. Just look jawdroppingly organized those skyscrapers are. This is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be American.

[@zainw24]

Most gorgeous city in America

[@robertpreston2220]

Agreed!

ricky lee and so dangerous.

[@watringmaster7545]

Oh yes! In Moskow down town is very little but in Chicago its very big!

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

@@rashed7339 no it's not. it's just as dangerous as any U.S. city--which is more dangerous than most cities in "1st world countries" but still, Chicago crime is highly concentrated in gang populated areas. Downtown chicago and most neighborhoods around the city are safe

[@AlyAyeee]

Absolutely stunning. I will never get tired of looking at this skyline

[@userx8220]

Chicago really represents the power of the United States, love from Mexico

This is by far some of the best footage I seen of Chicago at night ever I only hope that Im able to get this kind of Drone footage on my DJI Air 2s , because this is unbelievable and stunning

For those who don't now Willis Tower remains the second tallest building in the Americas (after One World Trade Center) and the Western Hemisphere. With a pinnacle height of 1,729 feet (527 m), it is the third tallest freestanding structure in the Americas, as it is 86 feet (26.2 m) shorter than Toronto's CN Tower. Willis Tower is the eighth-tallest freestanding structure in the world by pinnacle height. At 1,482.6 feet (451.9 m) tall, including decorative spires, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, laid claim to replacing the Sears Tower as the tallest building in the world in 1998. Not everyone agreed, and in the ensuing controversy, four different categories of "tallest building" were created.[48] Of these, Petronas was the tallest in the first category (height to top of architectural elements, meaning spires but not antennas) giving it the title of world's tallest building. Taipei 101 in Taiwan claimed the record in three of the four categories in 2004 to become recognized as the tallest building in the world. Taipei 101 surpassed the Petronas Twin Towers in spire height and the Sears Tower in roof height and highest occupied floor. The Sears Tower retained one record: its antenna exceeded Taipei 101's spire in height. In 2008, the Shanghai World Financial Center claimed the records of tallest building by roof and highest occupied floor. On August 12, 2007, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates was reported by its developers to have surpassed the Sears Tower in all height categories.[49] Upon completion, One World Trade Center in New York City surpassed Willis Tower through its structural and pinnacle heights, but not by roof, observation deck elevation or highest occupied floor.[50] Until 2000, the Sears Tower did not hold the record for the tallest building by pinnacle height. From 1969 to 1978, this record was held by the John Hancock Center, whose antenna reached a height of 1,500 feet (457.2 m), or 49 feet (14.9 m) taller than the Sears Tower's original height of 1,450 feet (442.1 m). In 1978, One World Trade Center became taller by pinnacle height due to the addition of a 359 feet (109.4 m) antenna, which brought its total height to 1,727 feet (526.4 m). In 1982, two antennas were installed on top of the Sears Tower which brought its total height to 1,707 feet (520.3 m), making it taller than the John Hancock Center but not One World Trade Center. However, the extension of the Sears Tower's western antenna in June 2000 to 1,729 feet (527 m) allowed it to just barely claim the title of tallest building by pinnacle height.

[@Chumpster1981]

My theory is where you are on the top floor. Sears tower isn’t the tallest in the world but you are able to stand on a taller level then the other two. ( the two towers and and the new World Trade Center. )

If you don't like it stay away from Chicago while the world will continue to come to Chi Town as this link proves. Curious....how many millions are flocking to your neck of the woods, BOY? Exactly.

Thank you! The only place we had to stabilize was at :48, we were getting some buffeting from the propellers or wind there. Everything else looked great straight out of the camera.

[@chrisbiela]

I noticed that on top of the frame when high-rises are kinda shaking a little bit:) I thought it was a side effect of stabilizing but wasn't sure. I think :29 has the same thing but it's minor. Anyway it was pleasure to watch this. Like the music choice also.
