What would the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building, look like if it was in NYC? It would look something like this. Holy shit, this thing is huge. And here’s some more perspective for you.

Yep, pretty big. [Kottke]

    Since when is the Empire State & Petronas Towers the same height?? Empire is 381 mtrs Petronas is 452 mtrs. Someone needs to check the facts here.

      Maybe the top point of the Empire State isn’t counted

    To Ha,
    “Maybe the top point of the Empire State isn’t counted” Huh?? What part of over 100 meters taller don’t you understand??

      That sounds correct mate. Maybe the top bit isn’t counted by certain sources. Who ever said wikipedia (probably the source you used) was correct in the 1st place? Unless you know for a fact both sizes (with or without the top bit), there is no use disregarding other people’s opinions on possibly different sizes…

      Ha had a very valid point
