Fireworks greet tallest skyscraper

[scris4u]

I love this building and I loved the opening show. However, I found the firework display kept reminding me of 911. I kept thinking that this was some kind of reinactment of what the wtc's looked like when they were falling down. Its kind of wierd that uae choose to honor the tallest building when the west lost theirs. I think all the arab countries should try and repay the USA for all the damage their son's did. I don't mean any harm or hatred toward anyone I just think its ironic.

[torquemenistan]

@scris4u If Bin Laden was, let's say. A European Guy, Who thinks and acts exactly like Bin Laden. Would you Have changed your point of view about Arabs.? Let me tell you. Not all Arabs are the same. And I guess, your point of view wouldn't have changed even if The Terrorist wasn't Arab. That's because you're a racist.

[rolllzeee]

@scris4u Actually you do mean harm or hatred to other people... you are just either too afraid or too dumb to admit it.

[rolllzeee]

I specially like the part where you said "all the Arab countries should try and repay the USA..."

...Nice one, and should they be bowing and swearing aliegance to the flag as they do that?

[walalahat]

I LIKE UAE (DUBAI) ITS A REAL ARAB COUNTRY...

[NinjaKeet]

That was spectacular!!!

[DaveUK1311]

watch?v=RS1jTKrT2gI

[MsLonelyboy7]

i wish i could see that

[MsLonelyboy7]

i think this is the main cause of pollution and global warming

but itz wonderful

[MsLonelyboy7]

i think this the main cause of pollution and global warming

[Sterndust]

well every time I drive to petrol station to buy petrol, they have another wonder to build in those desert oil countrys, of course with the help of western architects..how ironicaly..

[Beccapoo2003]

Why did they change the name, I wonder?? I have seen the building and it is taller and more beautiful than any picture can show!

[mrsjayousi]

@Beccapoo2003 because abu dhabi had to pay for the rest of the construction..ran out of cash so they had to name it after some guy called khalifa in abu dhabi

[B3RETA]

@mrsjayousi no buddy khalifa is the ruler of UAE so they name it after him

[bearwithpaws]

@Beccapoo2003 this guy name something khalifa paid for the rest or something rich as mofo change the name, hell i would

[TheApothocary]

And Muslim countries say the US is decadent. WTF ever!

[DAILEYericCaryUSA]

Fire bursting from a building is usually a bad thing.

[stupidben999]

season greeting

[SafiaHassan1]

wow!

[7442819]

Saudia have plan to erect , I mile tall tower.

[powerkitemad]

wow thats tall, think they might be compensating for something though! lol

[TheApothocary]

@7442819 Now the US has something to crash their planes in to.

[tekkenhalo]

Dubai, where all your dreams come true. Lol.

[jamal22066]

Ummm didnt the Dubai stock market lose something like 80% of it's value last year? Dubai was victim to one of the biggest real estate bubbles ever created.

[espada1ulqiorra]

Why cant SAUDI ARABIA DOOO THAT WHEN WE GET SO MUCH MORE MONEY

[uae123451]

Emar our local company who build up that tower is building another one in KSA.

[espada1ulqiorra]

thank u ههههههههههه

[jamal22066]

@espada1ulqiorra cause your government still thinks its 630 AD.

[espada1ulqiorra]

i kind of agree with u wit that

[carlosilm]

why cant the US do that...:/ ????

[boxd81]

LOL are u serious?!

[carlosilm]

wht?

[dangerjuices]

@carlosilm

no money

[Ahmadstickman]

cuz their 2 fricken wasting their money on their goddamn army. Bush spent 3 trillion dollars on the iraq war. how do u think the credit crunch started???

[zvezdochka10]

Some countries spend their money on war in Iraq and Afganistan, some on world records. Guess the last one is better

[vrgnmndrn]

Ya, except, the US spends its BORROWED money on war, and Dubai builds the worlds tallest building with CASH!

[gettoking25]

@vrgnmndrn

don't start arguing, if war is better than building a building,

in what way there is

building a that tower with borrowed money or what money there is, it is better then spending it on weapons or war

prick,

[abdul941]

ahahah Sexy ass fireworks and building

and i agree with Proud2beEmarati ;

[Proud2beEmarati]

"Today Dubai gives western media the tallest middle FINGERRR (Burj Dubai=Burj Khalifa)" hahaha ;)

If u dont like it Go back home because UAE is FULL so gooo back home instead of eating from this country and then saying all these shitss!

For the ppl who are saying shits over here "We pay You workk" ok? i know its ok haters so shut up and work silently;p

In ur face looooserzz

PS : JEALOUSY IS A DISEASE GET WELL SOON PEAOPLE ;)

[mdhey8991]

What do we Westerners have to jealous of with Dubai's debt-ridden economy? I'm happy to live in a free-country that doesn't operate Sharia law thank you very much.

[Aaberg123]

@Proud2beEmarati

The problem is that you're building it with other people's money, on a loan you had to be bailed out on. Sorry, I'm not impressed.

[uae123451]

dont be we are not intrested in ur opinion .. plus most of the loans are paid now,, we help each other we are 7 cities , and abudhabi get lots of cash that helped us easily to get out ..

[NazarethR]

ya ret law kano al mohandesen 3arab 3ashan neft7`er ,

[vrgnmndrn]

I'm behind you my friend. Guess what folks, I pay taxes and the yankees spend my hard earned tax dollars on flexing their muscles on weapons while the rest of the wrold builds their infractructure and advance as a society. Sad to see the US fall, but it IS and WILL in the very near future if it continues this way.

[Whatacrybabygamer]

@vrgnmndrn Yea ok brah. Only one who fails is your family.

[gardenofarcane]

YOu fucking idiot that Arabian Penis is built by borrowed money, stupid arabs and their empty buildings in desert, its so full of shit, someone has to crazy to live in that shit hole.

[gadhagadi]

@Proud2beEmarati : Good one mate..Even though I am an expat, but I was witness to this grand event. I absolutely love this country, and we witnessed, was something much grander than ppl commenting on debts, economy and all...Great job UAE, great job Dubai, and moreover, absolute respect for the great man H.H. Sheikh Mohammed !! Kudos..

[6x6o]

whats strange guys !!!!

my penis is taller than burj Dubai and hotter than the firework ,, it can see australia from here ..some times i sleep in my room , half of my penis sleep in UK and top of it sleeping in France ,,

i'm glad of my tower ,, i gonna celebrate it in 2011 .. wait me guys ,, u all invited ,,

[6sks]

hahahahahahahaahahaha

good for you ...

[persesmonk]

i am enjoying this not cause of the burj but cause i know some white trash jealous rednecks are watching this with their dicks hanging out of each other mouths saying wow! wtf just happened to our dream...lol

[Franklin0611]

This tower is amazing. The fireworks were cool. I hope they do something like this when Freedom Tower is completed.

[rextz]

yea they were amazing, i was on the roof of one of the buildings opposite to the burj, dude, atlantis might have had the largest firework display, but from that roof, i swear i stood there in shock of how amazing the whole show was.

[pokemon4music]

magnific :)

[alextw13jf]

I've seen the Burj several times and the last one was in November; it's unreal. Besides being the tallest building in the world is also one of the most beautiful. So sad I could not be there for this happening; fortunately, I could see the grand opening of the Atlantis which still keeps the guiness record as the biggest firework show in human history.

[ubaid4me]

Trissur Pooramano...?

[sajithmx]

Yes

[ubaid4me]

ooh....!!! Hay....High....!!

[maksroz]

[mhyohmy]

LMAOOO! ignore those haters.. they live to hate coz they done have anything to do earth.. in other words..they are just envy.. and jealous?? YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! they are!! they hate it coz they r jealous, they dont have it.. :P:P:P (bleeh)

[grazciagirl]

Proud to be in Dubai xx

[QuadRaxiX]

That tower is freaking tall.

[socomowner]

828m

[HawxSmokedTempo]

Us has no power in this world. If china puts a date till when US pays them because of their products and US isnt able to then Us will be unable to trade, its money would be worthless in other countries and it won't have any high superiority over other nations. Enough said, well i guess its now going to be called mexica

[safa1xxx]

stiil a beautiful place!!

[electrickhalifa]

The burj dubai is one of the largest wastes of money on earth along with ski dubai and the world islands. the country is practically bankrupt and they keep adding all these pointless creations to it. like seriously who needs man made islands and skiing in the desert?

[hotayman8]

electric khalifa

how about the current and past work in las vigas ,that is in the desert too and it came close to bankrupcy few times ,look now how sucessful , give it time and be positive.god bless the emirates and all arabs.

[ssaleen2010]

@electrickhalifa

us arabs do, kepp on hating i like it. i know u cant afford it

[rextz]

well only dubai is having trouble, but thankfully good old abu dhabi helped them out, but the reason they do all this is to impress, so to attract businesses and investments to the emirates.

[vinsimjos]

i knw wat the americans are thinking..."lets hijack a plane and...." haha just joking ,anyways awesome fireworks and spectacular building

[sblg3464]

prince kitty u r really hilarious .. . and idiot .. u r one of those who are doing all unhuman things in the world right now .. like killing innocents in palestine, iraq, afghanistan and so on atleast everybody knows who is barbarians execept you who is living in mars .. hahah

[adelemariesophie]

For the music (from 4'20'' to the end) :

It was composed by a french composer : Helene Blazy, who has work in a lot of films and documentaries for the french television, but also for the USA : for exemple she composed the music of "Sin City Law", series of real judicia stories.

[OoshBak]

That building was manily developed and constructed from german corporations. I wonder why arabs must always buy such beautiful thingy and why they can´t build it themselfs?

[melmelik]

are you jealous or is that a kind of envy?!!!

[diogothai]

meu Deus !

[MrGuanPoison]

Let people who does nothing in the gate only, let elite person get inside... :) sorry, some people here do not even experience other cultures...

[JuanCCastilloR1]

Arab women rebel against the absolutism and destroy the sharia law!!!

[koko440]

@JuanCCastilloR1,

bla bla bla kakkkakkkakakakkaaaa

[jimmeetrois]

well, youre right

[17jeevs85]

I guess u don't no what poverty is brother... selfishness,ignorant and greed is the cause for every problem in the world..anyways i'm not here to argue..coz its hard to fill a cup thats already full.

[AlixIgnasi]

@17jeevs85 You are fucking dumb.

I am fairly convinced you know nothing about the world whatsoever.

[jimmeetrois]

woooow congratulations! amazing! well here in mexico we also have too much oil and poverty at least theyre building something, let them spend their money as thay want

[uae123451]

ohh thanks man ,, the thing is we have too much oill and too much cars and money and we just love to build tall towers ,, and the weirdset thing that ppl think we have high poverty ,, guess wt we dont i never saw a homeless guy in my country b4 ,, only in the west cuz ppl there dnt care about each other ,,

[17jeevs85]

so much of money wasted just to show off...all the money could have been put to better use..when will people start realizing this shit

[kingofkards]

they already realize all those....they just dont care

[koko440]

@17jeevs85 ,

it's all about business and good selling with good reputation.

for example ... Pepsi company spends billions on propaganda every year .. they already know it will come back doubled or trebled .. it's all business

[batosato]

I didn't get it, why are Dubai's so called visionaries s0 obsessed with tall buildings.......Are they thinking of finding God at the top floor......Are they planning to die up there and are hoping to reach heaven directly.....reminds me of Grim Fandango thou......imagine sitting on the rooftop n saying "Hey God whats up".......

[uae123451]

hhh funny shits ,, common god is in much higher place than that ...

think lil bit use ur brain

, we just made a building! why ur so mad !? u shouldnt be cuz we are just started

[batosato]

you made a building.....right.......and how many lives did you claim by making this building........I am sure you have no clue how your construction workers are treated,,,,,do you?

[MrGuanPoison]

The Pride of the Dubai is not a pride of Dubai Alone, its a pride of the U.A.E. and the Middle East... :)

[yupperoonie]

i'd take a ride in my roflcopter if it caught fire and burned down.

[mcstarvealot]

i hate contries like this where they spend their money on themselves instead of the people, its probly a greedy prince

[michaelmp5]

Bit ironic that this is coming from an American.

[charlieisgone]

yeah,, you are right, michaelmp5... its ironic its coming from an American.

[phatty122222]

greatest marvel made by humans in our whole history

[ramitto]

how disturbing, people in the Arab world are suffering from hunger and poverty, yet countries pay thousands and millions for a stupid show.

[FoGGeRdk]

welcome to the real world my friend. Life is a big showoff

[Ninety2q]

amazing, simply amazing

[ElMaLiCano]

beautiful ... congratulations Dubai and all UAE

[e8q7ey7z]

هذه صفعة كبيرة في وجه الاعلام العربي والغربي

[stormspinner1]

Would have loved to be a tenent in there, when the fireworks were going off ... beautiful display. =]

[jasimjawahir]

Just forget to breath !

[rummana]

Well done UAE..

Any idiot can inherit millions .. Only great people can turn them into miracles.

لا عزاء للحـــــــــــــاسدين :)

[Ranact]

That's all oil money, kinda disturbing.

[muheemi]

wow we are the muslims we are proud see what a fantastic work done by UAE. no one can i bet. love you UAE

[4izm0v]

LOL!

Are we forgetting it was designed by infidels?

[ToonAtex]

who cares about them lol you just payed them they worked for you and then you get rid of them..=P

[metabolife]

should be a fun window cleaning job

[Escul1960]

Congratulations to the people of Dubai on this magnificent structure. Let's hope that the light at the top will be a beacon of hope for peace in the middle east.

Mazal Tov!!

[rummana]

Amazing!!!

We have the best rulers ....

and our rulers have the most loyal citizens...

Can you believe this was a desert a few decades ago!

Congratulations to all MUSLIMS & ARABS :-)

[gokul5029]

Yeah and the best suicide bombers and terrorists too.................They rule killing everyone in this world too

[rummana]

I don't walk around saying all Americans are morons just becuase I interacted with you..

that would be unfair to the majority of Americans :-)

[TheRealCritique]

Arabs are idiots with their money. They could try educating someone and flushing that stone age religion down the toilet, instead they are going to burn through all their wealth and have nothing to show for it. Does look like bladerunner though. Enjoy your self-made hell, noone's moving into the burning fucking desert.

[rolenzian]

Holy Shit !! aWeSomE!

[pouriapo]

it's THE "PERSIAN" GULF, not just simply "the gulf"!!!! Look at the map for God's sake for once.

[knhie]

It was been a vision from the Ruler, it was an objective to work with - just cant help to feel proud of this collective achievement.

[prince35111]

lol your reacting like your the adopted son of the fucking ruler.. That diaper head haha xd

[knhie]

you had none of this and thats called sour-graping. i think you're in one worst place and corrupt government to say such things. pity.

[Rynocerous25]

Absolutely incredible! Prob the coolest fireworks show i've ever seen!!

[stainrtw]

im soo glad i got be there in person to see it in person!!! and everyone that is ripping on the tower can fuck themselves :)

[prince35111]

Take your mama to the tip of the tower if your soo in love with it :d xD

[stainrtw]

my mother died 4 months ago fuck face but thanks for the reminder...

[prince35111]

hahahah :D:D ohhh soo sorry about that :P sister's alive??? :P

[stainrtw]

enjoy hell dude.....

[prince35111]

i surely will *smirks*

[zainethanakhtar]

Hopefully the latest financial crisis will bring the UAE folks down to earth, just like the US and they'll be more careful in future projects.

[zainethanakhtar]

The Dubai folks do tend to overdo stuff and are show offs. But still credit is due where credit it deserved; it is an amazing piece of work (with the help of a lot of expats from india, pakistan the west etc). Lets just celebrate this achievement of "working together" instead of getting into useless namecalling.

[JaMaph]

Haha this is like Civilization after you complete a world wonder.

[iBazt]

awsome !!! its very hi and at some point in the video firework become like a palm on top of the building, did any body notice that?

[Bhaile08]

amazing structure...although I'm sure the money could have been put to better use.

[curshvid]

Music sounds like the climax at the end of Star Wars before they blew the death star.

[tatooo1900]

whatever

[imanbelievable]

Dubai has given many of us expats a lot of opportunities for economic growth and congratulations for this HUUUUGE accomplishment! I'm still on holiday and out of Dubai but I feel proud watching this!

[BluntedBeyondBelief]

thats crazy

[brownocasio]

Incredible...such a wonder.

[RevolutionX94]

Amazing! this will be a beaty to rember, im glad that the Arabic world is beating the Western World in tallest building!

[pink707jr]

it might burn down

[lidul]

i for one absolutely love this building, but i am so fucking pissed its the burj khalifa now! it needs to stay BURJ DUBAI!!!

[kisev18]

Fair play to the Arabs, she's a beauty.

[RevolutionX94]

@kisev18 ur so right... this shows great success for them!

[aboodzz2zz]

I AM ARAB!!! and Yeah!! thats a new success for us :D thanks for that guyz :D

[WaRrDs]

Firt the show was amaizing ... i was there ... Second its already sold to people to live in and it has the first Armani Hotel , Third this is just a part of the opening... so Injoy the show and stop talking about what they did and what they didnt ... leave that to people who realy search and read

[Tooktas12345]

I think some ppl may have been falling in the category that could not find job in DUBAI or being Banned from Dubai... Or just jealous about the Arabs having this TALLEST building... I tell you what Dubai had created... a lot of jobs and opportunities. Big salaries for Westerners! Jobs for other 3rd world countries!!!

[interneti]

This thing was a colossal waste of money and time. What are they going to put in it, and who will buy into it?

[bluffes]

interneti

u cant say its waste it has hotel and apartments in it i hate when people dont know whats going on and judge

[interneti]

People are going broke all over the world, especially in Dubai. This thing is a massive boondoggle. I bet they won't even fill a quarter of the tower. What a debacle.

[exaura]

It's 90% sold.

[interneti]

BS.

[Conan568]

You're right.

As pretty and spectacular as it is it stands as a monument to the hypocrisy of Elites the World over.

The economy is in ruins, but hey isn't it pretty.

[snefald]

Precisely. This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. Just enjoy this beautiful show, and marvel at this mighty human achievement.

[jacu25]

fucking ads

[bluffes]

guys what does talking about what arab did had to do with the tower just watch the video and go educate yourself

[farahejaz]

frikkin' beautiful opening. it's like the tower came to life. very unexpected show of fireworks - creativity at its best!

[xoFatoumaYassinxo]

This is some sick shit!!!

=D

[bluffes]

this is made by the people of the world and all people gatherd to celbrate.. arabs payed the moeny and indians and people from other countires build it and engnieers from amreica and other countires desgin it i dont think this is made by the people of dubai but the people of the world so stop pointing fingers
