There is a fleet of sewage trucks that has to service the Burj Khalifa everyday because they did not hook up with a sewage system to take care of all that human waste . That and other problems have made that tower a giant money losing headache. I hope the people behind this new tower have more reasonable planners...but I doubt it .

No matter how high you build it, the only things you can see are the Persian Gulf, downtown Dubai, and sand.

Speaking of elevators, I’m a small-town guy and was in a New York City hotel. They had a bank of 8 elevators. To go to a floor, you told a panel which floor you wanted. It told you which of the 8 elevators would take you there. You went and stood by that elevator.

A “shard” is a piece of broken glass. There will be plenty of that when the thing collapses.
