Wakki News The weird is fun
This should be fun but it’s definitely reserved for only the brave. I doubt whether too many fishes in the real ocean would even have the guts to swim in this scary sky scraper pool.
A see-through pool set 115 feet in the air between two London skyscrapers is definitely making a big splash online, but Twitter users found a way to throw cold water on it.
The Sky Pool at the Embassy Gardens apartments is the world’s largest floating acrylic pool ― 82 feet long, 46 of which are suspended in midair, according to the Robb Report.
Residents can swim from one side to the other and see the street 10 stories below.
The Sky Pool was officially opened to residents earlier this month, but it really made waves on Twitter Tuesday morning after the BBC posted video of it.

While many people thought the Sky Pool was awesome, a lot of responses suggested a fear of heights combined with a fear of drowning, to the tune of “Hell, no!” Below are some reactions from twitter users.
So…yeah…this is a big NO for me. https://t.co/7xdtIM0OEw

Of course I'd get in that pool… and sit right on the steps the whole time. https://t.co/lHBIBWjJ6W

This is absolutely just a scene from the opening of a disaster movie about earthquakes, right? https://t.co/LKN9VKTgtB
