The world's tallest building opens today, a glass and glitz superscraper symbolising a decade of excess in Dubai.The £1billion Burj Dubai is more than half a mile high – at least 2,683ft, with the exact height to be revealed at the opening ceremony.That comes out to more than £5.5 million per floor in the more than 160-story tower.It is the equivalent height of three-and-a-half Canary Wharf Towers or two Empire State Buildings.It tops its nearest rival, Taiwan's 1,671ft Taipei 101, by more than 1,000ft (the CN Tower in Toronto stands at 1,820ft, but is classed as a 'structure' not a building).But an occasion which should have been a glorious celebration of engineering prowess will be overshadowed both by the collapse of the emirate's economy and the fact that the building isn't even finished.
Aight will have to do some upgrades on my phone to accomplish such uploads easier hehe.
Hehe well I usually refrain from posting pics so that people actually visit the sites and was trying to save on GATT storage lol.
