Never in my life would you get me up there.

Saw the display on the news at the gym, was amazing

[Taxi Adam]

Yeah just seen this on the news. Utter madness, id be bricking it.

Amazing building tho.

[Nicki]

I was wobbly enough at the top of the Empire State Building and that's a whole lot smaller...

[Amber]

Screw that! I'd cack my pants

[Gibbeth!]

I was bad enough walking over the glass panel at Blackpool tower, and even watching that video gave me wobbly knees!

Sky diving though... No problem!

[IDGM]

I think it's brilliant. Did I spot some graffiti about 10 seconds in?

Man U 0, Leeds U 1

Maybe not

[pro3mark]

Crazy, although i was wondering something at work.

I wonder how long it takes to get to the 160th floor

[cafcross]

Makes me laugh that it's still not finished!

Amazing feat of engineering though.

It takes a matter of seconds to get to the 83rd floor in the Empire State Building, so I'd imagine it doesn't take very long... Top of the Rock was even faster...

[Philplop]

Phh. I'd go up it!

Ok, we're now at the top of the Burj Dubai, this is the highest point in the world.

Bullsh*t.

I wonder how long it takes to get to the 160th floor

160th floor is at about 629m, lift goes at 18m/s. So about 34.95 seconds!

Don't want to imagine what the last 700 feet up the ladder to the top of the spire is like!
