AP PhotoToronto's CN Tower lost its "tallest free-standing structure in the world" status to Dubai's new 206-storey Burj Khalifa. But according to Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, the 553-metre structure will now be known as the world's tallest tower (for now).
Would you like to live on floor 108? I believe that's as high as the residences go.
blimey, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to look at the view for a while, but not to live there.
Happpy new year!!
Chuh... the CN Tower still rocks!
ReplyDeleteI never knew about this tower.....wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about the need to build so tall? From Ziggerats to this, amazing.
Dubai's "tallest building"* is just that...forever appended with an asterisk/quotation marks. Live on any floor there? Egad. The dictionary has a photo of current Dubai next to "wretched excess" - which is a nice way of putting it. (Sorry to people who are from there but you know exactly what I'm talking about.) I look forward to visiting your CN Tower some day.
ReplyDeletei'd rather stay ib toronot's one honestly. No desire to go to Dubai--too hot. And no, I would not want to live that high, thank you very much. Love that amazing comparison chart. Whoa.
ReplyDeleteI found the story about this building quite amazing. I would not like to live in it!
