Burj...

The latest from Dubai.  This is the world's tallest building under construction.  I'm curious how they get the crane down when they're done.  I suppose they could disassemble it and then use a giant helicopter to pick up the pieces.   Poking around online, there appear to be helicopters that can lift at least 20,000 pounds.

I so need one of those. How small does it pack down for storage?

Tiny. It's the helium tanks that are a pain, really. :-)
