Will I get a nose bleed at the top of that building?

“Hey we got all this oil money what should we do with it?” “Well we should use it to reinvest in our economy to create a sustainable industry which can provide for our people once the oil runs out…..
Hahahahaha, just fucking with you, no, no, we’re gonna build a tower so big we can punch the moon.”

HAHAHAHA…. go for it. ..

Yeah…that’s much better than infrastructure or universities for women. They should run out of money right about the time it gets finished. Well done Saudis.

I can has nother Taoer of Babil? Brothers and sisters, hope still waits in the wings; lonely, impatient, shivering, waiting to build her glorious fires, because of our plans. Our beautiful, ridiculous plans. Lets launch them like careeeening jet planes. Let’s crash all our planes into the rivers, build strange and radiant machines for this Jericho waiting to fall.

They won’t. Dubai had the same plan, but withdrew it soon. It’s just too insane. 1.5km is the physical limit. Everything after that becomes ridiculously inefficient.

The engineers better do a good job.

so fake… the people involved in the project never tell the public about the height before its done because people will just build a slightly bigger one

money and no taste, happens all the time just look at rodeo dr

Sorry about your penis Saudi Arabia.

Wouldn’t the damn thing just sink? I heard that was the problem they had with the one in Dubai. Someone who is smarter than I correct me!

I guarantee they end up going “Eh, maybe 3000 feet is enough.”  BECAUSE 3000 FEET IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

And you’re asking why? Same concept as the obelisk— to show the world who’s got the biggest winky.

That’s gonna make one helluva mess once some religious nutjob brings it down.

That is the biggest waste of time and money I have ever heard of.
