Canada has lost the distinction of having the tallest free-standing structure, CN tower. Was nice while we had it, not that it means anything. I knew they were aiming to make the Burj Dubai the tallest structure on land but didn't know when it would surpass the CN tower. So they plan on even surpassing the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, 628.8 meters, wow that's going to look impressive!

You should see the construction plans for that thing. It's going to be MUCH taller when it's finished!

Well, wait until the construction is finished and put .1 meters more of antenna on.

I'm glad, the CN tower is pretty useless, at least this thing will be a mall and hotel and stuff.

Yeah, that antenna doesn't do any good.
