Worlds tallest man made structure!

[AttaBoy]

I'm bored so I thought I'd post something a little interesting.

Burj Dubai is now officially the world's tallest man made structure. Went past the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, USA former record holder.
At the moment it's around 650m or so tall (Still under construction) and its going to reach past 800m.

The official height have not been revealed yet. Estimated to reach around 820m tall.

Some pics below.... (This building is massive!!!!)

Holy crap, thats amazing...

[AttaBoy]

Burj Dubai is going to be at least 180 stories high!! (I think, not sure)

90% of the workers there are Indians working day and night. They don't go home, They sleep IN the building because it take too long to go all the way down and up to the top!!!!

You could parachute off the top FTW!!!
