Ikholi IMontreal tower Ungumbhoshongo omude kunayo yonke emhlabeni onamamitha ayi-165 ukuphakama futhi usezingeni lama-degree angama-45. Uma kuqhathaniswa, umbhoshongo wasePisa ungamadigri amahlanu kuphela! Engqungqutheleni yayo, isivakashi sikwazi ukuba nombono omuhle wedolobha.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi lo mbhoshongo uhlala e-Olympic Stadium futhi uyisidingo kulabo abafuna ukubuka kwenyoni okumangalisayo kwedolobha.
Ngomsuka wayo umuntu kumele abuyele kuma-Olimpiki aseMontreal ngo-1976 lapho idolobha laqala ukwakha inkundla entsha eyayizoba nombhoshongo oyingqayizivele wokunikeza izivakashi umbono omuhle ngendawo yama-Olympic kanye nedolobha lilonke.
Kodwa-ke, kwaze kwaba ngaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi kamuva lapho iTower Observatory ivulela umphakathi iminyango yayo. Empeleni, bekungekho kuze kube phakathi nenqubo yokwakha uqobo lapho abaklami nabahleli benquma ukubeka indawo yokubuka, ihholo lombukiso, negumbi lokwamukela ezitezi ezintathu eziphezulu zombhoshongo.
Selokhu yasungulwa ngo-1987, lo mbhoshongo - owaziwa nge-Olympique de Montréal Tour - wamukele izivakashi ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezine. Eqinisweni, ukuvakashela indawo yokubuka kuyinto ejabulisayo ezivakashi. Ngosuku olucwathile, izivakashi zingabona izintaba zaseLaurentian, ezisendaweni eqhele ngamakhilomitha angaba ngu-4.
Ukufika phezulu kombhoshongo kuyingxenye yobumnandi! Izivakashi zigibela i-funicular ekhuphuka izungeze ngaphandle kombhoshongo, ngakho-ke ukubuka kuqala kusukela ngesikhathi bangena emotweni baze baphinde bafike ngokuphepha esiteshini.
Ngokwemibiko, ngenkathi yesivakashi esezingeni eliphakeme, i-funicular - ehamba amamitha angu-2,8 ngomzuzwana (cishe amamayela ayi-6 ngehora) - yenza cishe uhambo oluyikhulu lokujikeleza usuku ngalunye ngamamitha angama-266 (872 amamitha) omfula. Ngokuphawulekayo, ukukhuphuka ngakunye kuthatha ngaphansi kwemizuzu engu-2.
I-funicular inamazinga ama-2 futhi ingathwala abagibeli abangama-76 ngasikhathi. Njengoba kunikezwe isikhathi sokulayisha nokulayisha, okusho ukuthi abantu abangaphezu kwama-500 bangahamba njalo ngehora. Ngaphezu kwalokho, le yi-funicular kuphela esebenza esakhiweni esigobile, esivumela imoto ukuthi ihlale ime ngaphandle kokuthambekela.
ITower Observatory ivulwa unyaka wonke, ngaphandle kwamasonto ayisithupha - kusuka ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari kuya maphakathi noFebhuwari, lapho i-funicular ivaliwe ukwenziwa njalo ngonyaka.
