I thought there would be, cause even with a springy bottom I don't think anyone survive that.

DXBQuantum · April 6th, 2009, 12:59 PM

just do a mythbusters and jump a second before you hit the bottom, you will survive

lol

Toetallix · April 6th, 2009, 01:28 PM

Haha would have to be one hell of a jump!

Monkey9000 · April 6th, 2009, 01:31 PM

Would need to be on the roof of the car as well! Or it would just crush you!

Um, is that something falling off the tower? or a UFO?

Dubai Addiction · April 6th, 2009, 04:32 PM

Probably one of those UFO's again

In The Pit of the world's tallest elevator.

QUOTE]

I read somewhere that the longest elevator shaft in the world is actually in the Internation Commerce Center (ICC). One elevator shaft in the ICC extends all 118 floors. Though the 124 story elevator shaft to the Burj Dubai observation floor would seem taller, the ICC floors are all office floors which tend to be taller than hotel and residential floors found below the Burj Dubai observation deck. So the 118th floor of the ICC is taller thant he 124th of the Burj Dubai.

The cladding on the steel section is progressing nicely. The final result is getting clearer everyday, on the outside at least.

Think to all those constructors (for elevators) who worked and still work there: all those stuff (cables, drivers lift, lights, elevators cambines, to construct and connecting all those stuff) made by possible risk of their lifes...

DennisS · April 6th, 2009, 07:54 PM

Thanks for all the pics, a lot of new stuff lately

The facade looks stunning! I wonder why the 2 lowest mechanical levels look different than the upper ones in Imre's first pic of this page..? Is it because of the rails that are fully installed there or because of some cleaning maybe?

Axel_F · April 6th, 2009, 08:13 PM

The first two mechanical floors look diffrent because of the rails. You are right - nice stunning pics from Imre!

***AltinD*** · April 6th, 2009, 08:13 PM

Yes, the rails reflect sun-light
