    One tower in Dubai is pushing 688m, there's another planned (it'll take 10 years to build I think) that claims it'll be over 1 km high.

    No, I wouldn't want to be a crane operator AT ALL.

    When my Uncle was an apprentice builder he was left hanging on a crane hook for half an hour while the operator when for a tea break....imagine that 1km up.

    It'd freak me out, but I'd bet the operators are used to it and probably enjoy the views.

    Hey Guys,

    emailed a friend in dubai..... confirmed !!!


    "Hi Mate,

    Yep that would be the Burj Dubai - currently the worlds tallest building. And yes Nakheel a local developer is planning a mixed use building (Commercial & Residential) that will be 1km high. Got a spare 200million you can by the penthouse on the top floor!
    Am in Dubai since Sept 1999, wife, two kids (Jack 3yrs & Ava 3 weeks), and dog and a goldfish.
    Got too love the arabs, if it were not for Oil they would still be shagging camels!!

    Cheers

    Nat"
