You pass out anyway before hit the ground
Why do you pass out? How do skydivers cope?
Why is it different?

Being slammed into the walls repeatedly due to winds, perhaps, although I don't know if that's the point mustang was trying to make
Quote from tristancliffe :Why is it different?

Coz most of the time of this death ppl pass out of being in extreme shock-->the thought of beaing dead in few seconds.<--Professors said it,i dont know,but if i ever experience it u'll be the first will know

Quote from Scrabby :and another object for terrorists

Agree. Sorry about the negativity, but that thing won't last a year till some numbnut tries to blow a floor or 2.
Quote from e2mustang :You pass out anyway before hit the ground

Why would you pass out? Skydivers jump from from over 4000m and they don't pass out.

EDIT: Whoops, I had the tab open from earlier, and I didn't refresh when I went back to it, so I didn't see the other replies.
Quote from mutt107 :i would feel sorry for anyone who fell off the top of that thing

Why? I'd finally have time to finish the book I'm reading.

Hmmm, I'm not sure most people would pass out due to fear. Some might, but I'd question if it was the majority.

Bouncing off walls is unlikely - although the case of this particular building landing on one of the other 'peaks' would be pretty bad
I think I remember where that passing out thing is coming from. From the 9/11 media frenzy. I had heard too that most of the people that fell to their death had probably passed out when they hit the ground due to the shock. Now believing it is a different story!
Well, it makes their deaths seem less gruesome - easing the pain of reality for the masses unable to cope with anything more upsetting than a runny nose.

Does anyone hate the UAE enough to do that?
I wonder if that human spider guy will attempt to climb it. I doubt it would be an object for terrorism either, because terrorism is not a real problem, it's just easier to pass certain laws if the country you govern is full of depressed scared people.
I think Dubai has no problems with terrorism, so why attack it. I think Dubai is a perfect place for these types os structures/buldings...

Well, that guy is crazy enough, I think he's already analyzing the plans of this skyscraper.
Quote from Tomba(FIN) :looks like a cock to me.. i mean that tower.. yes well I don't really think what I think of objects etc when im tired

Go to sleep buddy
Or pay a visit to the doctor if your cock looks like that tower.
Quote from mr_x :I hated the place, felt threatened by the people and the place is just a massive building site/dump.

Never been myself, but you're not the first person I've heard to say that.

and those buildings of 91 , still there!
Well they are wisely using money from oil to give them something of value when all the oil runs out. The whole place seems to be one great big commercial experiment that encourages innovation.

you might need a special suit to even get to the highest floor.
I wonder how they can pump concrete up there without it beginning to harden up...
All I know is that the concrete is very special since it has to support such a huge building and every batch made has to be checked.
