I typed in "skyscraper" on google images and this is what I found:

I looked it up and it happens to be called the Burj Dubai, and it's rumored to be over 3,000 feet high. How would it fell to be on top of that?! I'm not scared of heights!

Has it even been started? Or is it still just a concept drawing? I know they are trying to turn Dubai into a major tourist hot spot.

Currently, it's the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan (509m).

The Tower of Dubai is under construction since 2005.

It already is a huge hot spot...but it'll move a level higher that's for sure.

Pretty soon there's going to be a war over the tallest building in the world and countries will be bombing other country's tall buildings so that they can remain supreme

I recall japan is going to start making these super structures that conist of 3 pillards to be about 10,000 ft tall. These super buildings can hold around 200,0000 people. :o Sure you could find a pic of it if you try.

The Freedom Tower is going to be shorter than the Burj Dubai and the Burj Dubai will be finished next year so the Freedom Tower will never be the tallest in the world.

actually those towers are supposed to be 3,000 feet tall 10,000 will start interfering with airtraffic. The WTC towers 1 and 2 held over 100,000 people and they were only 1,300 feet tall

I'd be terrified to be on the upper floors. I mean you look out your window and see CLOUDS?!? That's nutz, btw I'm talkin about that Tokyo tower not this Dubai thing. Didn't somebody in like 1950 something come up with a mile high building? And aren't they building a giant boat that could fit the Superdome inside it?
