Maybe we should just build boring, uninspired five story concrete monstrosities so we don’t draw the terrorists’ attention.
Yeah. They did exactly that one time in Oklahoma City. This was it after terrorists got through with it.

Plans to build the tallest skyscraper in the United States are shaping up in an unlikely metropolis: Oklahoma City.
Developers at a real estate company are adjusting the already ambitious plans to construct the Boardwalk at Bricktown Tower by a few hundred feet to make the building reach 1,907 feet high — which would make it the tallest in the country, the Oklahoma City Free Press reported.
“The symbolic height honors the year that Oklahoma was admitted as the 46th state of the United States,” Matteson Capital said in a statement.

“Just for reference, how tall is the average Oklahoma tornado?”
On a bad day I would say 1,907 feet.
John Hartford wrote about Tall Buildings a long time ago...and he nailed it.
In Tall Buildings
By John Hartford
And it’s goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I’m off to the subway
I must not be late
Going to work in tall buildings
Now when I retire
And my life is my own
I made all the payments
It’s time to go home
And wonder what happened
Betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings
And it’s goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I’m off to the subway
I mustn’t be late
Going to work in tall buildings
I use to have an office in the BOK building in Downtown Tulsa, 45th floor.
I took the freight elevators...
I would say it would be good enough to permanently move about 4 or 5 three letter agencies out of DC.
That was my first thought. The second thought was this looks like something a politician in India or a Sheihk in Dubai would do, purely for the bragging rights.
!?m
Maybe it will be as successful as the Burj Al Kalif. Seems a dumb idea to me.
First thing I thought
“On a bad day I would say 1,907 feet”.
LOL
And they don’t have erfquakes in California?
I worked in a building like that in Houston for a while and there was a certain elevator that would free fall when it started its descent. When the door on that one opened, I waited on another one.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
why on earth would these fools build MORE commercial office space when NYC and SF has YUGE buildings with only 8% occupancy?

Reminds me of an old joke.
Q: Why do they call women’s stockings hose?
A: Because they go right up to the water sprinkler.
Let's build empty, boring, uninspired thousand-story deathtraps instead.
They won’t know what kind of catastrophe they are inviting until it happens. Misuse of technology...
Three scrota?
You and the other 'bos ever have any "dust-ups" with homicidal elevator bulls?
