The Burj Khalifa, also called the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, towers over the skyline in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The occupancy rate at the 160-story, 2,717-foot tall building boasts the most stories and highest occupied floor of any building in the world, and ranks as the world's tallest structure, beating out a television mast in North Dakota.

wow, it fits so well from this angle and distance, the center of gravity in Dubai looks like it has shifted to this structure.

It was on the discovery channel or something a while back, and its designed that way so that you can add more and more to the height of tower. You only have to make the tower bigger to compensate and in theory this tower could go almost into space.

They already do, all the engineers and workers are foreign labour. I think they will be able to build the tower of babel this time round.
