holy f***ing s***

f*** being up that high

imagine how much height allowance they would b on !

A lot.

Imagine how much it would suck if the crane collapsed like they have been known to do...

A lot.

ISWYDT

The fact that a few always die making skyscrapers would be scary enough.

Ok honey I packed your lunch and your parachute ... have a lovely day.... kisss

base jump off that sucka

That's just the desert.

What about the sea?

Anyone read up on the vacancy rate in Dubai these days? very lol

base jump off that sucka

I reckon you would wish you could before long, it must take f***ing forever to get down off that bitch at the end of the day...

i can't believe they actually find people to fill the world's biggest everything being built there and taking up most of the world's cranes

isnt it great how dubai has one third of the worlds cranes



i thought it was a third, not most

base jump off that sucka

I reckon! Doing the exit through clouds like in pic 2 would be epic

Current height

Burj Dubai reached its final height of 818 m (2,684 ft) on January 17, 2009.[12]

You would get a solid ~25-30 seconds of freefall at least.

Hope they open up these buildings for legal jumping.

Taipei 101 is the current largest building BASE

Keep dreaming CHUB along with the other 2134 ...oop's sorry 2133 base jumpers. :)

Someone already did base jump off it

not only is it high it'd also be f***ing hot working up there

dubai is a s***hole.

Our office here is on the 1st floor of a 4 story building, and there's a section that sorta overhangs the street. Even that scares the s*** out of me (you've probably noticed by now I'm scared of heights) - on the Rialto observation deck I'd have to stand a meter behind the glass. I'd probably have a panic attack if I was up on the top of that thing.

Even that Taipei 101 is massive when you compare it to the other 'High' rise buildings around it.

Fear of heights....me too.

Wow, seriously raven? I mean i don't like heights much either, but the rialto tower doesn't phase me one bit. My brother and i went to one of the outside areas there and he 'accidently' let go of his brochure and it got whisked away at a great rate of knots in a directly horizontal direction. Made us lol.

is it that high already or is that chopped? i was there a few years back, they've made some progress. crazy arabs. just looked the site, crazy progress!

only time i was a bit wobbley in the knees is on top of empire then looking up at the needle thing.

The Camel Jockeys are making hay whilst the oil is still flowing.

dubai is already out of oil isn't it?

yeh they are

Dunno how trust worthy but:

Dubai's oil reserves have diminished significantly and are expected to be exhausted in 20 years.

That base jump was f***ing sick!

Yes but they have trillions of dollars worth of business investments all over the world. They realise their oil is going to run out but that definitely won't mean goodbye Dubai.

Among their many investments is bucket loads of money in sustainable energy.

that article made me grin

Sharia law, practiced in Dubai, mandates a series of unpleasant penalties for defaulting on financial obligations. Punishment could include castration, stoning, or bobbing for "apples" in the country's only sewerage treatment plant, and that's just for the men.

You would never get me up there, but someone's gotta do it.

How do you get those cranes on there and off?

ja, they are spending while they can. getting good infractructure / investments and setting up for tourism etc.

How do you get those cranes on there and off?

using other cranes, duh

Yikes

The last picture in first post goes to show how much wank it all really is. "The biggest Building..on earth blah blah"

notice how theres hardly any "Medium" sized buildings. There is no natural progression with having 1000's of 1 lvl shanty's and then 7 f*** off monster scrapers.

It's kind of like going in to battle with 7 fully upgraded Science Vessels and 100 standard space marines.

Your gonna get f***ed up!

yeah not really

all we have to hope now is that they build one big enough, so that when it falls down, it whipes out all the muslims ;)
