Fucking retard. These buildings are built with oil money so that they can attract tourists when the oil runs out. Or did you think they were apartments for the oilworkers?

I think you're both missing why buildings are being built in Dubai... because there's a high demand for commercial property in Dubai due to their almost nonexistent economic restrictions and taxes.

And to elaborate, it's not just oil companies occupying those buildings. There's countries from all over the world who do business there and take advantage of the lax restrictions.

It's SAMSUNG who are building it. This has nothing to do with oil money or whatever. The UAE get a whole shitload less cash from oil than other countries in the area.

Just wondering, but how do they get the cranes up there? Do they construct them up there some how?
>> Anonymous
>>248168
usually the cranes are built on the construction they're working on, so when they complete a few floors they disassemble the crane and move it up a few more floors. theres new technology out that's outdating this method but it's still used.

The people who operate those things must have no fear. I dont think any amount of money would make me do that.

The dubai skyline is to the right, off picture.

I was there last winter and what they're doing to the place is quite amazing. As someone mentioned - the oil is not going to last forever, therefore they build a tourist state.

that's what i was thinking. don't get me wrong, i'm stoked as fuck for it. 2000 years from now it'll be the known as the cooler, way more awesome coliseum with the biggest tv evar. but goddamn, why can't we have buildings this tall in dallas? i live in plano about 20 miles away and i bet you could see this from here if it was in downtown dallas.

how they gonna get there when there's no oil?

Actually Jeremo, it does rival those buildings. The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world, even surpassing the CN Tower. The CN Tower will, however, retain the title of "world's highest civilian-use floor", with the upper observation deck still open to tourists.

Fly some planes into it and we'll see how high the arabs build shit once that happens. I think it's time they lived in fear too.

I have been up the CN tower into the viewer portion. It was pretty sexy. It's like a glass bubble and you can see all around for miles.

This thing is a miracle of engineering. It's hard as hell to build buildings that tall since the winds at those heights get pretty insane.

And I have to say, I do love the minimalistic design of the Burj. I'll be off to Dubai in a while, hopefully, and see it myself.

Doubtful. Like Michael Jackson, expect all wealthy criminals (OJ, the Bush family, the Bin Ladens, Cheney's family, and everyone else fleecing the US) to be moving there pretty soon. Halliburton already relocated there too.

True. The collapse of the dollar is a controlled collapse, to keep the people asleep for as long as possible.

In before "there's nothing wrong with the dollar and the stock market is higher than ever". It doesn't matter if stocks go up if the dollar is often devaluating a cent per day.

Yeah, that's a bit extreme. Although...

Nations all around the world are dumping the dollar as their reserve currency.
