The Top of Burj Dubai

I live right opposite the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the World. Rather, each resident of Dubai, lives opposite the Burj Dubai, since it is visible from each small little corner of the city! Thought to share this really amazing amateur video taken from the peak of Burj Dubai. Do not forget to carry your oxygen masks while at the top!!! :)

Though it is sad, to create a man made marvel like this, a lot of people have lost their lives while constructing it. The authorities need to introspect, was it even required to build this?. Other than the tallest building in the world, Dubai is also home to the Largest Shopping Mall in the world, the Dubai Mall, which also has the biggest fish acquarium in the world, and also the tallest luxury hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab. Seems like, it is participating in a 'construction competition', building the tallest,largest,biggest, etc... I wonder what could they construct, which shall be the smallest in the world!
