- chrissku, on 08/15/2008, -7/+180China will have one twice this big within a week. Faked...but twice as big.
- FonzsXe, on 08/15/2008, -4/+148its a picture from the mars rover
- Gorgonzola44, on 08/15/2008, -4/+137Is Dubai one big concept drawing? What's with the ground?
- DarkenKO, on 08/15/2008, -2/+130Iran will have 8, photoshopped in
- bl4k3r, on 08/15/2008, -5/+115Maybe they just shot it from a spacecraft passing by.
- Sepeteus, on 08/15/2008, -11/+120This calls for more pot. I need to enhance my amazement.

- Krispy, on 08/15/2008, -4/+71it will take another 4 years to furnish with tacky carpeting and gold bathrooms

- PrplHaze, on 08/15/2008, -0/+50They'll have to have some sort of high speed elevators 'cause if that think is a kilometer tall you might as well take a helicopter to the mid-point - it'd be faster. Plus you can only shoot people up so fast without making them sick.
Then again, this is Dubai - they probably will have anti gravity chambers as elevators to offset the g-forces you'd feel. - DemDude, on 08/15/2008, -1/+50Imagine a warm, squishy feeling in the back of your pants.
- FonzsXe, on 08/15/2008, -0/+43dipped in lead
- FeloniusMonkey, on 08/15/2008, -0/+39Built by 11-year-old..........gymnasts.
- SkateorDie, on 08/15/2008, -10/+48too bad when you go to their country with a spec of weed stuck to your shoe you get jailed for 4 years.

- Cam_86, on 08/15/2008, -7/+38Its amazing what slave labour can do now a days...
- ligyron, on 08/16/2008, -0/+28@ GTRagnarok & thaitan
Whoosh! - tim710, on 08/15/2008, -3/+30How long do you think it will take to ride an elevator to the top story?
- Vash_aka_TK, on 08/15/2008, -1/+27I wonder how much those crane operators at the very top get paid.....probably not enough..
- Rev0lver, on 08/15/2008, -3/+28Al Burj gives Burj Dubai penis envy [if it ever gets started, that is]. Burj Dubai is pretty nuts itself, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Burj
- NicT, on 08/15/2008, -5/+30Breathtaking! What do you think it feels like standing on the top of it?
- PabloIV, on 08/15/2008, -4/+28This is real?
It's awesome if it's CG
It's awesomer if it's an actual picture. - Peko, on 08/15/2008, -0/+23FYI - the correct response to most fire alarms in apartments is "***** it". Concrete doesn't burn particularily well. Even with a very significant fire people several floors up or down will barely notice.
And if the fire is severe enough people can just jump into the giant piles of money they have around Dubai. - jonssonar, on 08/15/2008, -4/+27I am pretty sure it'd be taking-of-breath considering the altitude.
- feureau, on 08/15/2008, -2/+24Somebody need to put a Donkey Kong on top of that.
- Miamisun, on 08/15/2008, -1/+20If i worked on the top floor i would need to get to work an hour early just to take the 15 elevators to reach the top floor.
God help them if someone pulls the fire alarm...bet they just say ***** it. - versualize, on 08/15/2008, -1/+20Hopefully there's no headcrabs in the Burj Dubai.
- assbeard, on 08/15/2008, -1/+19mmmmm, phalic
- Lothar76, on 08/16/2008, -0/+17The funny thing is if you're caught with pot in the UAE, even a small fleck of it on your clothes that flew from the guy who sat next to you who was rolling it in Amsterdam or Ibiza, that they use ultra-sensitive detection equipment to nab you. And it's an automatic 4 year sentence even if you've never intentionally touched the stuff in your life.
Given that any asshat can get me in trouble for this, I don't think I'll be visiting that country anytime soon. - Clodhopper, on 08/15/2008, -5/+22mirror:

I really hope the japanese engineers take up the challenge. This is their chance to have the biggest penis! - directedition, on 08/16/2008, -0/+15North Korea will have a half-constructed larger version rusting away within the decade.
- dieboldcracy, on 08/15/2008, -0/+15and the child labor needed to build it will not be hard to find
- MOJIRA, on 08/15/2008, -0/+15Half the age.
- steelopus, on 08/15/2008, -0/+15Yeah, but will it blend?
- sharp357, on 08/15/2008, -0/+14BASE Jumpers.....Gear up! :)
- doremon313, on 08/15/2008, -1/+15with dog meat served at the restaurant on the top floor.
- MOJIRA, on 08/15/2008, -1/+14Hopefully there are! Grab my crowbar and have me a good ole time working my way down to the floor level.
- Tartooob, on 08/15/2008, -0/+13Its real 100% :)
- kkush, on 08/15/2008, -4/+17wow looking at that itself is making my hair stand
- jec68, on 08/15/2008, -0/+12if you like this sort of stuff go to:
skyscrapercity.com
I could spend days looking at pics of massive buildings. - pak314, on 08/15/2008, -0/+12I took an elevator to the top of Taipei 101 two weeks ago. They ramp up and down the speed so you barely notice. I think maybe 30 seconds for the whole climb. No different than the acceleration felt in a car.
- inactive, on 08/16/2008, -0/+12Incidentally, every elevator attempting to go down from the top floor has been burnt up when it re-entered the atmosphere.

- DJPhoenix, on 08/15/2008, -0/+12They should provide BASE jumping lessons for people located above the mid point.
- Linkin4, on 08/15/2008, -0/+11AAAAAHHHHHHH
- feenxfire, on 08/15/2008, -3/+13See? The Freedom Tower will be a national embarrassment. NYC should have gone with the original, riskier Libeskind design.
