World's tallest building opens in Dubai - GoFuckYourself.com

Persius · 01-04-2010, 01:11 PM

The world's tallest building has been opened with a dramatic fireworks ceremony in the Gulf emirate of Dubai.

The Burj Khalifa was revealed to be 828m (2,716ft) high, far taller than the previous record holder, Taipei 101.

Known as the Burj Dubai during construction, the tower has been renamed after the leader of Dubai's oil-rich neighbour, Abu Dhabi.

Last month, Abu Dhabi gave Dubai a handout of $10bn (£6.13bn) to help it pay off its debts.

Construction of the Burj Dubai began in 2004, at the height of an economic boom.

Finally... hmmm tallest building in the world, so advanced. But yet they still prohibit any photography of the slums on the outer edge of the city where all the exploited workers who build stuff like this live...

shimmy2 · 01-04-2010, 01:14 PM

who's going to shoot a video there first

Evil Chris · 01-04-2010, 01:16 PM

A handout of 10 billion. Nice.

The Duck · 01-04-2010, 01:36 PM

1 million liters of fresh clean water is needed to cool this fucker every single day. What a waste.

More than twice as high, the Empire State Building reaches "only" 381m

i'm sure they recycle it. prolly would be more expensive to cool off that amount of same space flat on ground level.

Quentin · 01-04-2010, 03:31 PM

They should rent out the penthouse suites for high altitude porn shoots and call the resulting series The Half Mile High Club.

I'm sure that idea would go over really well in Dubai and with its neighboring states. They could even use it for a new tourism-inspiring slogan: "Dubai: Taking Pornography to New Heights Since 2010."

It's to be approached with discretion, no question.

Although, perhaps there's an experienced local who could "give us a hand" (so to speak) in terms of how to produce porn in this part of the world.

Yep no porn or pork allowed there.And i cant imagine life without those two :D

PornMD · 01-04-2010, 03:58 PM

Only a matter of time before Gozar the Gozarian is brought back up at the top of that by Zuel and Vince Clortho and the Ghostbusters need to be called in. Wonder if it was built by Evo Shandor.

GTS Mark · 01-04-2010, 04:06 PM

Makes our CN Tower look like a toy in comparison!

Les Grossman · 01-04-2010, 04:07 PM

Impressive engineering, but what a waste. Anyone know how many exploited workers lost their lives building this thing? Lots. The work conditions in Dubai are horrendous.

xdcdave · 01-04-2010, 04:08 PM

What a stunning building.

Impressive size but it looks like a bunch of stacked paper cups. Anyone else thinking of the old saying "the bigger they come the harder they fall"?

Krash · 01-05-2010, 06:26 AM

Just a bigger target to hit is all that thing is.

Les Grossman · 01-05-2010, 08:10 AM

No one will make that building a target.
