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.

That picture is insane! I've looked at it a few times scrolling down my friendslist and it looks like some future city, not something thats ACTUALLY on earth right now.

Dubai is my dream destination. Six months from now I'm hoping to secure a job there. I know, it sounds nuts, but it's a plan three years in the making.
