The tallest building in the world.
Burj Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It is 2,684 feet. The north tower of the WTC stood at 1,368 feet and the south at 1,362 feet for comparison.

^True. In particular, Indian or Sri Lankan working men. Every other motherfucker has a dope house and a fucking private gate. My wife has a good
friend that lived there last year because her husband was working there for an airline or something. They had some nice digs for no reason, and she
was like "I'm moving back to Philly" Hahha.

There's something in the wiki article about them using southeast Asian labor and paying them shit as there are no labor laws there. Scummy
motherfuckers but still some fascinating architecture.
