Two interesting drawing colletions

http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?...49,40682,46005 shows the tallest structure of many categories, which exist or existed ( if the tallest of this category does not exist any more and was not surpassed by an other one).

http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?...81,44247,58020 shows the tallest structures of Europe, except Zehlendorf old radio mast and Sendemast SL3 in Burg, as from these masts no drawings exist.

Both are TOP ones.

comments: It is sure the Burj Dubai will be the tallest Structure whatever use and type all over the world. That is impressive even with less meter 807,8m instead of more than 1Km high.

I would put the Ostankino tower also in the first one and Petronas to see that CN Tower and Ostankino is even higher the Sears, Taipei 101 and Petronas. It is sure today the highest Human use Structure out deep waters is the CN Tower and Ostankino as 'buildings' before the Sears one. Considering only as building type the Sears is already the tallest. In one year with Burj Dubai all finished the history is complete different, even comparing to Masts and Offshores.

The structure in GUINESS forever of all structure types will be Burj Dubai as direct human and non-human Tower use.

I decided to make no new thread to present you this statistical (not of buildings) diagram, so I paste it here.

The statistic is interesting, but what structures are in category "towers" in your statistic?
Only free-standing towers as in the database in category "towers"? Or also guyed masts and chimneys?

Nevertheless, it is very remarkable that there are more structure that never exist in the database, than that which existed, but were demolished or destroyed.

You're wrong, cause database has many mistakes. 2340 buildings (roughly http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?31902827) respond on all of types (malls, highrises, statues, masts etc.). This error is in 3.9% of all structures.

Yes indeed and there was I time when I had so much believe in this website that i singlehanded "repaired" 4000 buildings. But these times are gone...

I wonder when this finally get fixed?
