The World's Tallest Man-Made Structure


just read this yahoo news story. The world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai, re-set the world record for highest man-made structure again, at a whopping height of 2,257 feet. In 2004, it surpassed the 'Taipei 101' for world's tallest building, and in April of this year, it surpassed the KVLY-TV mast in the good ol' US of A to be the world's tallest man-made structure. Projected completion date: September, 2009. Final Height: a closely guarded secret, but estimated to be at 2,953 ft (900 metres). I think the best part about this is that it takes place within the Arab Emirate of Dubai in Dubai City. I'd like to see this place...
