World's Tallest Building
Located in Dubai in the Middle East.

Dubai is the Las Vegas of the Middle East.

I wonder how many jets it would take to bring it down?

Re: World's Tallest Building
Dubai is growing exponentially right now. I would bet that most of the largest cranes in the world are stationed over there right now. That huge development in the sea that is shaped like a palm tree is an engineering wonder. Amazing!

Be nice Rick. Not all Japanese and Germans were evil in the '40s, not all Russians were bad in the '50s, '60s & '70s and not all people who voted for George W are bad.

Re: World's Tallest Building
Look at all those other buildings as well.
All built on SAND.....
I wonder how deep the foundation pilings are.
