a base jumper#s dream

Wow.

Or the ultimate nightmare for someone with vertigo...

Looks like a wasteland in all directions...

^ Give it time, Las Vegas used to be just a desert. Without an income tax it will also grow a lot faster.

Did anyone else's stomach turn inside out at 25 seconds?

looks a bit like sim city2000....

very cool.... makes me very uncomfortable just watching.

although him saying at the beginning "this is the highest point in the world" is not true at all. its the tallest man made structure, but not even a tenth of the height at the summit of mt everest.

Yup

Why the Islam tag though?
It's the spire on top a really tall skyscraper, it's not one of those Islamic prayer towers... minarets?

I agree that the islam tag should be removed.

I am wishing to go there once they have finished constructing the building. I once had only 2 buildings left for visiting the top 10 highest skyscrapers in the world, but there are so many being built right now, that I have planty of places I want to go/revisit

Scary stuff!

1:25 - 1:30

The Burj's shadow goes out further than the shadow of the building which is as tall as it is ahead of the Burj. Your ears must pop 7 or 8 times traveling in the elevators.

And stop a lot faster in the midst of any economic slowdown.
