Wow..That is seriously too big..It's like a Half mile up. There's going to be snow on the roof of the building and it'll be well into spring on the ground.

Just for the record, that's 2624.67 feet, or just under a half mile high (.497 miles). That's seriously big. I give props to Samsung for doing it...they're a cool company on their way to many huge things. The only question I have is...why in the United Arab Emirates?!

Very good question my friend. I guess they have their reasons... though I don't know what those could be right now.

How do you build something that big? Laughing

LOL. Now it's time for Excel to come in and say, "They are always against Chicago. Trying to outdo us!". I swear he says that everytime something is built or talked about that is taller than the buildings in Chicago. Razz

I think I know why.

Just guessing.

The UAE is one of our allies, though. My guess is that their country is so tiny they wanted SOMETHING people would notice.

It would be a cool thing to see that’s for sure. I just hope it doesn’t end up being the biggest engineering disaster in modern history, hell any history.

If it works I definetly wanna go and see it.
