AGREED! Im sorry. I know people get mad when we talk about the antenna. But its such a modern building,,, a 1980s style antenna will loot terrible. Look how Dubai incorporates the spires into the designs of their modern buildings. C'mon,,,, we can do better then this!!!!

The movie "Iron Sky" has a good idea of the finalized tower.
