They should build things just change the designs. They need to stop and think before they do. Something could go horribly wrong in one of these structures and the company would end up paying for the building/structure and law suits.

The next thing Dubai need to do is to buy the whole world.

WHo knows! Probably in 2050 the planet would be surpopulated by those gigantic buildings.

It's a typo; I meant to write 72 floors refering to HHR Tower with the Latifa tower next to it.

I hope they build the world's largest coffin one day, officially to cover the dead city of Dubai, in 10 years.

No, but as things are going (there's a new major leak on site) the Chicago Spire might be completed first.
