5'd just because of my sheer terror of heights.
I caught myself saying "ho-leee shit" over and over under my breath.
"Holy-fucking-shit" for me.
From up there it looks a bit like Mordor, but with a beach.
and a sun
Wow so that guy recording is up there in a crows nest or something like that?
They should have included some video of the tower from the ground so you get some idea of where the guy is.
A perfect balance of beautiful and terrifying.
It's beauterriful.
your underworld reference pleases the gods
It is indeed clever.
Stars for that!
Agreed!
It is essentially the result of the efforts of neoliberalism wage slave labor but hey whatever.
so tall~
Agreed, withholding my vote for that....it is pretty tall though.
Those other skyscrapers just look like ants from all the way up there.
Ants... with ants inside!
I think Mordor deserves a tag in Dubai.
Does anyone else's sack hurt and shrivel when watching this?
Yes. Well, not hurt. Someone should have told Dubai that when the lay of the surrounding land looks awful, you shouldn't build the world's tallest building.
It's sort of a dull ache. It's only related to heights. Should I go to a sack doctor?
It made my ankles hurt. Idly sitting here, if you asked me if I'd go up there, I'd say yes. If I ever actually got the opportunity to though, I'm not sure I could will my body to move towards the ladder.
On behalf of other acrophobics everywhere: screw this.
Exactly what I was thinking Hooker, nice view of sand they have. Wait, maybe sand is as beautiful to them as grass and trees are to most people.
didn't you ever see lawrence of arabia
what
All covered in cheese
Needs a tether-ball-like rotating mount at the top for people to swing around on. a pop.
We better hurry up and fly an airliner into that before the Dubai real estate bubble bursts, its economy collapses and everyone stops caring about it
You see that desert out there? That desert is patient. That desert will win.
