If a tree falls in the forest does it make any noise?

If the worlds tallest building opens in Dubai and nobody moves in does it make any money?

I think it is freaky! I hate the tall buildings that you can almost feel them swaying in the wind! This one freaks me out!

Y’know...I wouldn’t mind visiting the place at least once. I’m fascinated with REALLY tall buildings. I’d go, look around, go as high as I could, take a few pictures....

...and then get the Hell outta there and never return.

So how long before someone uses it as a base jump site? Or climb it from the outside?

I imagine prison for those who attempt.
