Mile-High Tower

Posted by Fawaz on March 31, 2008

We have seen a lot of high towers and they are still coming, like the Burj Tower which is 2300ft tall but it will look like a Pencil infront of the Mile-High Tower planned for Saudia Arab. It’s going to be 5,250 feet high, yeah i also noticed it’s 30ft short but they can put an antenna to cover 30ft. It is currently taller than anything ever created, easily making it the world’s tallest building.

It’s going be built in the new city near Jeddah on the Red Sea and behind this master scheme is billionaire Prince al-Walid bin Talal who bought London’s Savoy hotel for a cool $2.5 billion in 2005.

Mile-High Tower will have two “Mini Towers”, both higher than 800ft, on both sides to keep it straight. Advanced-dumper system will be installed to stop swaying at high floors which make people sick. They are going to need some amazing engineering to handle burning heat at day and freezing winds at night. Other than these, not much is known about Mile-High Tower.

One more thing is that, most of the lifting will be carried out by helicopters and construction workers also, now that’s cool.

    Aah, This reminds me of a joke.

    Once there was a competition b/w a number of nationals for the Fastest Sluting Stamina, While climbing up the stairs of a tall building. An Officer was hiered for the contest result to look after the contestants from the top floor. All the contestant lost the game at 5-10 floors . But when it comes to Paki Pathans… They won the game by sluting all the bitches till the top floor and when they reached the top Floor audience heard the voice of Mr.Officer from the top Floor saying Ah, Ah!

    So if u r going to have the Office at the top , I would say prevention is better than cure … Be carefull ma man.. Lots of ppl are gonna come over to see the mile high tower and i am afraid Pathans will be among them too ;) Lolz
