The World's Tallest Building

Did you know that the world's tallest building just got even taller and booming? Yes you read it right guys. I was browsing as usual today and just found out that the Burj Dubai tower in the booming Gulf emirate of Dubai has now reached a height of 688 metres and is still growing. It now boasts a whooping 160 storey which makes it the highest skyscraper in the world. How I wish I can go there and see inside.

Sigh.

The skyscraper which is set for completion in September 2009, is one of several mega projects taking shape in Dubai, which is a member of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) federation.

Just to give you a quick info, Burj Dubai started in 2004, overtook Taiwan's Taipei 101 tower as the world's tallest building when it reached 512 metres in April 2007. It became the tallest man-made structure on the planet and it has surpassed the 629-metre KVLY-TV mast in the United States.

It's very amazing what man can do.
