The CN Tower is the 2nd tallest building in the world?

It stands at 553metres so would come 2nd to only the Burj Dubai.

And Donald trump is looking to take the record for worlds tallest sky scraper off the Burg Dubai,

This is the link:
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/52306...-tallest-title

And i saw a programme on the building of it on discovery channel so it has at least started buliding.

It has points in it at heights of other sky scrapers in the city so its split into like 4 bits, the bottom bit is as tall as a sky scraper then bottom and middle is as tall as another 3rd bit is as tall as another then it has its own top bit to make it the tallest.

It seems a bit like they are trying to cheat by having a lot of the top part just for a radiator, and people can't really go up to the top. I think they should measure buildings by how far up people actually go, not just putting a giant cap on the top to make it look taller.

The Canadians are the most ridiculous with their CN tower, which basically has no real space in it, it's just a big stick with no real space in it, but they love talking about how tall it is.

King Gizzard 13-01-2012 04:44 PM
How much longer has it got to go? Doesn't look that big

It's not complete, that top bit is still being glassed over

Ninastar 13-01-2012 04:50 PM

I think i remember seeing it

It's weird, I've seen two of the tallest buildings within a year, and not even realised it

King Gizzard 13-01-2012 04:50 PM

People saying its a waste of money do you think all the business offices and residences get to use it for free ????
