Still can't see it. Rarely happens outside the US. The US was hit for a reason.

you mean base jumping? would be pretty good to do it off there, although you wouldnt want your chute to catch anything whilst jumping

Aimed at US or Uk troops more than likely. Unless Bush visits that tower i'd say its safe.

Arabs won't kill other arabs.

I'll enjoy watching that one be developed, although will dissapoingtly be home by then, but hopefully back out living by 08.

For anyone interested, give The Palm a look at. 3 man made islands being built on the shores of UAE which will be home to many luxury villas and 5 star hotels, all 3 islands in the shape of a palm tree.

http://www.thepalm.ae

All the building work in Dubai at the minute is unreal.

that would cost infinately more, sq/m is expensive, height is not.
