Re: omg this is a big building..

Estimated at roughly 2300ft... lol wtf... that's high up there.

They say it'll have an observation deck, and a private club above that at the top. Problem is, they're in Dubai, wtf is there to look at?

Re: omg this is a big building..

Wow...I think I remember watching TLD or the Discovery Channel, that's supposed to be the world's tallest skyscraper upon completion.

I say, UAE has alot of new and upcoming money there. I would vacation there. It looks really nice and elegant and modern. Not to mention gas is like 32984793276437927492384 less there lol.

Re: omg this is a big building..

Dizamn. Yeah that would most definitely be the worlds tallest building. i think the Sears Tower is #2 right now and #1 is somewhere in Asia, but that one is waaaaaaaay taller if completed.

Dubai...the fastest growing city in the world. What was it...15% of the world's cranes are there. Craziness.

My dad got back from there a few months ago. Says it's amazing!

Nah, Taipei 101 is taller than Petronas.

Petronas is largest twin towers though.

Re: omg this is a big building..

yea, Dubai is combusting with money.

They are also building artificial tropical islands there.
A couple of island clusters are in the shape of a huge palm leaf




Another group of Islands are said to be in the shape of the world, where you can purchase "countries" and territories of the world.




That country is fu*king rolling in it.

Yeah, Palm Island 2 is under construction at the moment. Apparently they've just confirmed that Palm Island 4 will be built.

That world map thing is awesome.

Re: omg this is a big building..

I must say, as many enemies as the western world has in the arab world, I still tip my hats down and give my kudos to them because they were once the supreme leader in mathematics and sciences and they still show no difference.
