High Enough For Ya?

Burj Dubai is the tallest structure every made by humankind, currently clocking in at 700.9 meters.

And it isn't even finished yet.

Plans call for the skyscraper (sky-puncturer? sky-piercer? sky-stabber? Babel?) to reach a maximum height of 800-950 meters. That range alone (150 meters) is over twice the height of the tallest building in Maine (good 'ole Franklin Towers), and about as tall as the tallest buildings in Arizona and Virgina.

It's peak will be twice as high as the roof of the World Trade Center. If it reaches its maximum height (I assume that will include antennae), the Statue of Liberty (sans podium) could be stacked 5 times between where construction is currently and where Burj Dubai will end.

That's one big mother.

The main site has several pictures, but I have yet to see one that brings on the awe, the amazement, the vertigo as much as this picture.

No way am I working in one of those cranes. No way.
