waste of money..

[masterbarnard]

In the end both of you (Jamie and Amjad) have ended up as bad as eachother! Supertall is generally used to describe a skyscraper 300 meters or taller.

[AmjadDuhaini]

Im worried that london might become like new york I think they should finish the shard and stop buildin more skyscrapers!

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini Do you know that the following buildings are also going up- The pinnacle, 122 leadenhall, 20 fenchurch, st georges tower,etc?

I would also just like to say that the Shard is a supertall and not a skyscraper.

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 Actually its not supertall so firstly I suggest you do your research and any building that is above 80m in height is classified as a skyscraper and The Shard is 310m

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini It's actually 309.6 metres or around that area (i forgot the exact height) but they rounded it up. As for the supertall, anything that is over 999ft or 299 metres is classed as a supertall. You might of heard that there were complaints about 150 greenwich street, WTC complex because it was 1 metre short of being a supertall but that is a good example of a skyscraper. After supertalls there is megatalls eg Burj khalifa

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 No I do know the names "supertall" "megatall" do not exist you just classify it as a skyscraper above 80m

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini Yes they do, I recommend using google and search 'supertall building'. I was just being more technical because after a certain height these buildings fall into a different catagory.

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 Face it UK is better than USA :)

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 Oh and if you were smart enough construction workers round the height on every building they don't have the exact figure.

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini I was making a correction from something that was incorrect to something that is infact correct. It's called detailed answering. As for the other comment of yours because I'm smart enough not to reply twice, I live in fucking Scotland not the USA but still I couldn't give a flying fuck who is better. I don't give a fuck about ideology's, capitalism, politics or which place is better.

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 Then go fuck off.

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini Fuck off before I fuck off, at least I can take a fact without being a prick about it.

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 O shut up it is a skyscraper supertall megatall all your trash rubbish talk and no it is not a fact because it hasn't been proven by anyone and it has been said by someone who is stupid

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini Why can't you accept it?

Maybe you should go back to listening to shit music like Rebecca Black.

Visit skyscrapercity and they will tell you. You are the most arrogant fucking twat I've ever 'argued' with.

[AmjadDuhaini]

@JamieT96 blah blah blah

[JamieT96]

@AmjadDuhaini Come at me.

[garethevers]

don't know the music at the beginning; the music later in the video is Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada

[NYBOY75]

nice

[wondertube108]

what program is this from?

[Rielyboy1]

Inmagie if in a fews years time the shard got hit by a plane thumbs up if not goood

[bertyUK]

@queenshussars Absolutely,

Though clearly impressive for a skyline, there's zero, nothing English about this building. It could be anywhere on the planet.

I guess that's the future of London (No-man's Land)

[will101page]

@bertyUK We still make alot of money out of it even though the tenants are not british

[bertyUK]

@will101page

"We still make alot of money" - £billions flow through London everyday but it's still a depressing place.

Irremovable scumbags everywhere who are quite simply "taking the piss" out of us law-abiding Londoners.

I'm not anti-capitalist.

[will101page]

@bertyUK London is not a depressing place...There are much more depressing places - NYC is worse than London

[MrBrommy101]

@bertyUK its not that bad just the old place is

[bertyUK]

The growth of this monster symbolises THE UK PUBLIC DEFiCIT.

[Batmanlvr1980]

Anybody know what the music is at the beginning?

[Lord6of9Uk]

@Batmanlvr1980 why do u wana know the music? its nothing special!!
