That's one hell of a deep end: The 24th floor swimming pool with nothing but glass underneath (not great if you have a fear of heights)




If you have a fear of heights, you won't want to dive into this remarkable hotel swimming pool.

The 24th storey pool in Shanghai, China, has nothing underneath it apart from a pane of toughened glass - and a huge drop.

Fortunately for those terrified of the drop, the majority of it is inside the building - although you will probably want to stay in the shallow end.
