wasn’t there a thread posted recently about how Dubai’s buildings and islands were wearing away and collapsing? If they use the type of steel and cement I think they do I’m not sure I’d want to be in that restaurant on a busy night.

Yes. Those stupid palm shaped islands are sinking. I cannot imagine how these skyscrapers are going to hold up. I do not think it is going to hold up.

Contrast that with something like the Florence Cathedral (Duomo) in Italy which is over 600 years old.

Or the Pantheon in Rome with the first dome ever built and ut still looks great. 1,886 years old. Or Konstantbasilica in Germany which is still in use about 1700 years old.
