Forget about any Olympics inauguration ceremonies or any New Year’s Eve celebrations: The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world, and it got the highest fireworks too for its opening ceremony. So colossal you’ll think they are destroying it.
The tower – which is officially 828m tall – was inaugurated today, and the developers launched it with all they got. The people who attended the ceremony couldn’t stop cheering in awe. I don’t blame them. Watch the whole video to see the lighting effects just before the final fireworks. They look designed by aliens.
