Who else thinks that the super skyscraper that they are building in Dubai will collapse once it's finished?

I'm amazed by the fact that its concrete for the first 140 floors or so, the bigt american skyscrapers are all steel frame which seems like it would be much much lighter than concrete. Dunno what Petronas and Taipei 101 are though.

The Petronas Towers are all concrete. I watched a documentary on it's construction recently.

The bigger they are...

The design looks cool though. Better than the Freedom Tower.

It really seems like a lot of these super-skyscrapers are getting close to the old SimCity arcologies, with the exception of the potential for self-sustainability. I expect to see a real one within my lifetime.

Arcos are crime infested, but bring much joy to inhabitants

They need to build an earthquake resistant arco in Los Angeles. I'm getting sick of my 5 miles 1 hour commute.

Wouldn't jogging be faster?

I wonder if any terrorists will try and fly a plane into it.
Once it's completed
