It will however be a sad day for Toronto

Records were ment to be broken, I'm ready to pass on the torch (im a torontonian) I certainly hope I don't miss the record breaking day.

As of March 7, 2007, the Burj Dubai has passed the Empire State Building to become the (unfininished) 8th tallest building in the world.

I thought BD had already passed that mark and is now the 5th tallest?

Not if you are going with the official Emaar figures.

Hmmm....weired that there are two different sources and numbers on the height. According to the thread I re-read this morning the difference was 62m at one point [198.4 ft]. That's a very big difference.

I guess no one will know for sure until it's topped out.

Burj Dubai is at lvl 112 / 389.7m - www.emaar.com

SkyWatcher · #**629** Posted **Mar 7, 2007, 5:34 AM**

1247.04 feet according to my 'calculations' [if you can call them that]. A wee bit less than half height....incredible....

^ That's incredible. It is still hard to believe that it's not even half way up.
