    Again... you people all assume that ALL terrorists are middle eastern? Seriously people, terrorism comes from every country on this planet. Dubai is as subject to attack as the US is.

    Well, terminal velocity of a human body (falling) is around 120mph, give or take depending on if you dive etc. The building is around 800m tall.
    120 Miles per Hour = 53.6448 Meters per Second, 14.91 seconds (apx) from jump to death. Enjoy it.

    Terroism isn't always huge bomb attacks you know, you've already been suckered in by the media to assuming that every single terrorist is, well, black.

    In the war on Iraq, America has emplyed a multitude of techniques on Iraqi forces (And civilians) which could be called Terrorism, but of course that's not terrorism because well, the white people did it.

    America has been the target of more American terrorists than middle eastern terrorists btw.

    Theres something right at home that means terrorism isn't limited to a particular country, religion, nation, etc.

    As broken said, and as I said, America is consider as much of a terrorist nation to other nations in the world as we consider Al Qaeda to be a terrorist to our own nation. Dubai may not be subject to muslim attack, but what is to stop it from being the subject of an American 'tourist'? Some of the largest bombings in the world have been done by Americans, and we hardly deem them as being terrorists because of their skin color, or nationality, but thats far from how other nations feel about the US. What to stop Dubai from being attacked by a rogue individual of the muslim religion? Countless hundreds of suicide bombings go off in muslim public squares all the time, killing members of their own race and religion in the process. You would be ignorant that something such as that building wouldn't be a set target for terrorist attack in the future, again, even if only for the sake of figuritively kicking over some kids sand castle. If you've ever been to the beach you've thought of doing it, just amplify that to a political and real life example, it happens all the time.

    Not to mention, this is only considering 2 nationalities, the nation of Islamic beliefs and the US. How many other countries in the world have been known to have rough terrorist history? Exactly.

    Dear God some of these posts are just disgusting, especially Shooting Star's, how do you put a smiley after that. That makes the post even more insensitive.
    Anyways that building looks amazing! Looks animated, but I don't know why. The revolving floors building will be so cool. Theres one building in Washington DC that has like a bunch of lights and they change patterns, its really cool.
