I wasn't sure, but it seemed that perhaps they had been using the CN Tower as a mooring and/or boarding tower. At over 1800 feet tall, certainly it was the only place around that could have fulfilled such a function.
These images were composed back in August of 2001, a couple of weeks before the events of 9-11. Suddenly, it seemed insensitive to post them.
