Here is the amount of curvature that should be blocking Chicago at a few different observing heights, from 60 miles away.
Observing 10 feet above water = 2100 ft of obstruction.
Observing 25 feet above water = 1936 ft of obstruction
Observing 50 ft above water = 1758 ft of obstruction
The sears tower is the tallest building in Chicago at 1451 ft (plus its base is slightly higher than Lake Michigan, but this is not very significant)
So as you could see even the top of the sears tower should be hidden by hundreds of feet of curve obstruction depending on the height of the observer above the lake.

Nonsense. I linked a less than 1 degree drop. Study math. Dumbass.
Stop spewing garbage. Read the link.
The drop after around 69.17 miles is a degree. 1 degree of curvature, and it equates to next too nothing. Hardly seen by the naked eye. 500ft looses about 1.89ft, at that distance, less than 2 feet. Read the calculations linked.
Those aren't my calculations. I looked online, trying to find why you monkeys are claiming such irate projections. I stumbled across the previous link. It was so simple a monkey could understand it. 360 degrees make a circle, divided by the Planetary circumference. Producing a one degree drop at every 69.17 miles. It amounts to fuck all. Not noticeable.
Where do you dumb fucks come from. You've all fallen out the stupid tree. You're stating Everest disappears off the horizon. Because you fell out the stupid tree. No it doesn't.
Ok let me get this clear. If the Observer is 60 miles from the sears tower, and he is 10 ft above lake Michigan, how much of the sears tower will be blocked by earth curvature? Let's assume the sears tower is 1451 ft above lake Michigan even though it's slightly more. What do your calculations come up with?
I'll get my popcorn for your answer
They aren't my calculations. I linked something obvious, instead of a monkey falling out of the stupid tree and getting its head stuck in a hole and wondering why he couldn't see shit.
Again 360 degrees is a circle. So 360 degrees divided by the Plantary circumference is a drop of 1 degree at almost every 70 miles. Can a monkey see a one degree difference. No, it is tiny at that distance.
Get back up your stupid tree. Instead of linking shit.
If the calculation is so easy a monkey do it, then please answer my previous question in feet. How much of the sears tower will be blocked by earth curve from an observer 60 miles away and 10 ft high? Answer or admit you are full of shit, because I gave you specific answers for 3 different observer heights.
