Sandstorm as seen from the top of Burj Khalifa

Watch a Sand Storm From the Top of the Tallest Building in the World.
Dubai-based Photographer Gerald Donovan went to the top of the tallest skyscraper in the world—the 2,722-foot tall Burj Khalifa—just in time to watch a sand storm engulfing the city. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but he captured it on this video.

Dubai will serve the failed future as testament to the ridiculous impracticality and excess cascading into the failure once again, of humanity's insanity.

All for a 40 days and 40 night sandstorm of biblical proportions to completely cover Dubai up to the first observation level of this ugly monument to engineering waste and the complete failure of the United Arab Emirates to approach the pace of the 21st century.

May Dubai disappear in my lifetime.

I dont see an entrance to the bucket he stands in... did he have to climb up the side of it and get in? No way I could ever do that.

I think he's standing on a hatch.

The U.A.E. are fans of excess, control, and psychosis passed down for many generations. May Dubai burn in my lifetime.
