It reminds me of that Swedish building. Quite stylish.

I don't know about the wisdom of BASE jumping in Dubai, though... don't they give the death penalty for everything? Or for women, maybe they'd just sentence you to an arranged marriage. That might not be so bad.. find me someone wealthy. Cool

Either that is a very off topic comment, or there's a district of Dubai called Chicago?

Re: [TomAiello] Chicago Spire
The first article mentioned that there is a tower under construction in Dubai that is to be even taller than the Chicago Spire.

They were the tallest buildings in the world, until the Taipei 101 building was completed in 2004. The KL towers are 88 stories ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Twin_Towers ); the Taipei building is, would you believe it, 101 stories.

What matters for BASE jumpers is not the height of the towers, but the height of the exit point.
