Gonna be insane how much Dubai will change in the next few years.




Especially when you think about the changes in a short space of time already...

Wow, very beautiful but what a waste of money when there are so many people suffering.

Wow.....

When I lived in NYC, my friend introduced me to a friend of his who was second in command at the steelworkers union. He said you want a job $1500 a week and this was in the early 90's. The thought of going those heights,I was like no way.lol

is there a bathroom up there?

Yeah, fuck that. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.

Thats cool.

What a view you would get from up there!

Do you wear a parachute for safety? Somehow the idea of being in a building looking down at airplanes makes me nervous...

Probably not. You just piss off the side of the building... :1orglaugh

Awesome!

I am not afraid of heights but the height of that scares the heck out of me.

That pic made me scream (I suffer from vertigo) ...

Awesome pics

One or two terrorist attacks and that city will done for. They won't be able to convince the westerners to keep coming and spending money. You know it's going to happen too, some of those extremist will see that city as a disgrace to Allah.

btw why is the water green?

oh fuck no!

If the money was good I could do it. Not scared of heights at all.

I'd base jump that fucker too if given the chance.

That's scary man!

no thanks :)

Wow that building looks crazy tall. Used to work as an electrician in NYC and I would have jobs sometimes on the roof of an unfinished sky scraper. You wouldn't believe how cold and windy it gets up there and there is nothing to support you except a small railing. Highest I have ever been was 44 stories. Wonder how many stories that thing has looks incredible.

I think it would actually be pretty cool to work on something like that

I wouldnt even go into that building, thats how scared I am of heights

According to http://www.burjdubaiskyscraper.com/, the Burj Dubai skyscraper is 730 meters high right now. That's 2395 feet tall. The Twin Towers were 1,368 ft. That's a pretty big difference.:eyecrazy

i wouldnt wanna go in there either.

damn... that is high!

Is it just me or is Dubai starting to look more and more like those cities you see in Sci-Fi movies like 5th Element, Minority Report, etc..?

after 50 feet it all looks the same. no big deal really...

yeah especially since they use their $$ to knock down the twin towers and our money to put that crap up $.02

hey Chris, I was an iron worker in south texas... power plants, same deal, we worked about 350-400 ft

That first pic looks like it was made in simcity.

That city is starting to look badass, I kinda wanna live there.

When the big glass dome goes up around the whole city, it's time to start to worry.

Imagine a plane hit that thing !! :warning

riiight, ex-girlfriend has been working there for years, you don't want to live there, trust me

holy fucking shit!!!!

What is that? 1000 stories?

goddamn that`s tall you would have to have some pretty big balls to work that high up. Hope they are getting paid extra for that type of work

Do tell...

that skyscraper is amazing

yeah friend was there 2 months ago. He said that all the poor people (who build all these buildings, etc) live on the outskirts. And while you are allowed to take pictures of the beautiful, nice parts of the city, there are signs in the poor parts (slums) saying "no photos allowed"

what does she do? and why doesnt she like it?

Ive worked that high before.. oh wait were talking about building right.

every city has slums... that place is bad ass

very very impressive..but i wonder WHERE they want to go.. i mean, what's the purpose of that thing??? always bigger and bigger...then ppl will be like wooohoo hoooo - dont wanna sound negative, just that i think that there are much useful things that can be done.

Is there any air?
