Posted by: iostream @ 2:37 am in: International (48,893 views) September 14th, 2007UAE’s Burj Dubai (Dubai Tower) has now become the world’s tallest free-standing structure according to its developers Thursday.
The Burj Dubai tower is still under construction in the Gulf emirate of Dubai and is now 555 meters (1,831.5 feet) tall. It has finally surpassed the 553-metre- (1,824.9-feet) CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, which held the record for the world’s tallest free-standing structure since 1976.
The state-owned development company Emaar Properties did not reveal the tower’s final projected height or its final number of storeys, which they had kept secret since they launched the project in January 2004. The Burj Dubai is expected to be finished by the end of 2008.

I think is a great idea to show the people how can the man be able to do fantastic things, so maybe this “megastructure” can give an idea to other coutry and in the future we can be proud about our constructions.
