The cash-rich Abu Dhabi Investment Council has bought one of New York's best-known skyscrapers, the Chrysler Building, for a heady 800 million dollars, sources close to the deal said Wednesday.

Man, that's right down the street from me too. I see it next to the Metlife building every morning when I step out.

Meh... it's not like they're going to air-lift it out of NY and take it back to the UAE or something.

whoop - de - freakin' do! The japanese owned rockefeller center for a while and nothing bad came of it. It's not like the city would let them demolish the building.

Not white amurrkans, just America. Never knew our landmarks could be bought by foreign countries or whatnot, but then again, it's not a national monument.

So I learn something new everyday.

UAE have at least 10-20 buildings MORE impressive then the Chrysler building already, so its not really any big deal to them.
