Giants In The Sky 1

[Cloudy011]

The Burj al Arab, Dubai -you have to admit it looks like grown kids with too much time, money and space. And the sand palm in the ocean? What resourse did it take to do a project like that?.-- Papa! Papa!, "some day i want a tall sail building hotel with a giant sand palm tree right next to it in the ocean!",, Ok son, wait till the suv are invented* - hotel/space station

[homerbear46]

the Center in Hong kong at about 350 meters (and its twin "Central Plaza" at the western end of North HK island) are great skyscrapers...interesting ..the same size as and kinda looking a bit like modern Empire state buildings (you can Imagine KingKong might like climbing them)..but HK's two 400meter+ "supertalls" ICC and IFC are rather bland and I suspect would hold little interest for the Big Monkey.

[Timosha321]

music fits the video nicely

[lthanni]

the Aon Center looks too much like the South Tower =(

[epics7]

always crossed mind too before 9/11. the one in hong kong looks like a contemporary Empire State Builiding.

[VegitoFan123]

sears tower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ABCAnderson]

[rgrft]

[penpen125]

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

[penpen125]

wow! al burj at night is so wonderful!

[Browncub1]

when i first saw the sears tower in chicago once i was like omg that thing is tall :)

[patrickm2722]

empire state building as old as it is still triumphs many builts long stand empire state :)

[MrTantraMan]

CN Tower in Toronto Canada is also supposed to be on that list.

[festizioland]

GO CANADA!!!!!

[ps3man75]

cn tower isnt a skyscraper

[Shaydog00966]

Sears Tower!

[DeontaeChambers]

SEARS TOWER!

[dangerboy544]

my favorite is the empire state building

[Broderick85]

great video man and for empire state building great song too as you know mick jagger sang many songs about new york

[odalV]

sears tower is taller then the hancock

[Azngoldenpig]

1: Bank of China Tower 2: Empire State Building 3: International Finance Centre 4: John Hancock Center 5: Burj Alb(It doesnt look like a skyscraper) Skyscrapers not in this video 1: US Bank Tower 2: Transamerica Pyramid 3: Twin Towers/Freedom Tower 4: Chicago Spire 5: Crown Las Vegas PS: Hong Kong has over 3000 buildings over 300ft, not skyscrapers And the governments announced Dubai will only reach up to 2000buildings over 300ft SO HK is nothing owned HK is still megastructuring

[FavoriteHallow]

I have to admit that it is somewhat daunting the changes to the order and inclusion of at least 3 more buildings to the list in the last year.... I am currently updating this project to reflect current buildings.

[Azngoldenpig]

I think theres an arguement and Luckypet4747 is winning the conversation

Wink wink* Hot hot hot

[berflaberab2]

Manila has a beautiful skyline especially on manila bay, Los Angeles has a really ugly one though

[Luckypet4747]

Lol berflaberab12

Your just being racist to Chinese people, especialy asian ones. And its true that Hong Kong has more skyscrapers than New York City

KNow your history before saying Switzerland is the richest country, cause its not. What Skyscraperworld was trying to say was taht China has a lot of beautiful cities, so thats what he/she thinks China is richest.

USA is the RICHEST country. Stop being racist. Los Angeles is pretty, not ugly. If you see LA pics, theres many style.

Stfu, RACIST!

[berflaberab2]

Urg no u retard usa maybe the primary country of trade but switzerland has the highest gnp per capita u fuckwit, Stupid fuck, open an atlas and you will find out! Ur a complete idiot!..... and what i said is true the chinese population is bursting thats why the government only allows them to have one child per couple, UR AN IDIOT and if you doubt my knowledge google it! I have got a high distinction in the National Geographic Australia Competition so i know these facts are for certain!

[Luckypet4747]

Your the idio Think Who is saying a cuss word in every sentence Who is being mean WHo is being racist to Chinese Who is bullying mirror mirror, your the idiot And I know a lot of people hate Chinese but 1: Chinese have better actings 2: Chinese have better art skills 3: Chinese invented a lot of things used in the world. Switzerland is a cool country, and I never hate a good country. Country that have high crimes, I hate those countries. So basicly, stop the arguement, Witch Bitch^^

[berflaberab2]

Urgh ur just a retard!

pffffft.....

Ur the witch bitch

CHINA DOES HAVE HIGH CRIMES U IDIOT

they just cover up everything,

i.e tibet!

So yet again you are all talk but do not back up your facts!

[Luckypet4747]

Your the retard, copying me saying "Witch Bitch" so basicly, your all wrong. Look at Bank Of China Tower...the most designedful tower, and its in Hong Kong Burj Dubai is just a tower going skinnier and skinner 2IFC, isnt that cool(In HK) Also, stop being mean to Los Angeles. LA have a great sister city with San Francisco. SF have a better skyline than your city. A city isnt base on how pretty it is Its based on- HOW SAFE HOW FUN HOW USEFUL HOW HEALTHY AND HOW MANY LOVES YOU CAN FIND

[SkyscraperWorld]

Shut the **** up berflaberab

Switzerland is not the only country in the world

Luckypet4747 isnt even trying to be mean to you, he/she is trying to teach you, loser

Go to your account and comment on your profile, not on this video

[berflaberab2]

Meh

[Luckypet4747]

Shoot! Global Warming causing effects

GLOBAL WARMING=Suicide=WORLD...WAR...­III

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Luckypet4747]

Luxembourg, the richest country in the world 50+ GNP So who cares Everybody hates something, of course But everything people hate, they are hating wrong things SOme people hate China, but theyre hating it wrong. China helped some people in the world, like Africa. Tell me, what does Switzerland have? What did the invented? Who did they helped? What made them so cool? Take a step to Hong Kong, its a very populated city. HK:3,100 skyscrapers NYC:810 Dont take things seriously. lol!!^^

[berflaberab2]

Switzerland invented chocolate!

LOL

i have been to hongkong and it was fun ocean park was awesome but disneyland was a letdown

Switzerland is rich because it has not been ravaged and effected by war and is a neutral country, although they may have not done anything great like some chinese have they have been able to build upon there economy by creating a strong modern industry, The reason i dont like china is obviously tibet and the fact that they are backing up north koreas evil dctator

[Luckypet4747]

Rich isnt based on money, rich is based on the country's peace and love

ANd remember, CHina never tried to attack other people's land. NOrthern CHina and SOuthern CHina had war. Japanese were cruel. Japanese people tried to take over CHina, Thailand, Korea, and USA, and others O.O

I hate North China because theres a lot of perverting, stealing, and diseases.

Ocean Park...hmmm

I WANNA GO THERE!:D My dad never took me thereT.T

and Disneyland was a letdown

ALl disneylands are boring..no fun

[berflaberab2]

Theres an new one in manila that i really wanna see! The Manila Ocean Park or sumfing but apparently they have this thing where fish eat your dead skin! Ever since i was a kid thought disneyland would be magic but it wasnt! Wat a let down :(

[Luckypet4747]

Disneyland should have themselves upgraded. Disneylands are only for thigns like "museum"

Sixflags arnt scary enough too. Which city you think is the best on your vacation.

I only been to SanFrancisco, Hong KOng, and Las veags:(

[Luckypet4747]

I li Super Smash Bros Brawl! Well, were pretty much SPAMMING comments on this video, so im guessing we should talk in messages:D

I dont want to disturb anybody's video! You know why:D

[Luckypet4747]

Ok, goodnight!:D

Im pretty much playing RCT3 and I made 45skyscrapers on my files.

15skyscrapers in Part 1

15 skyscrapers in Part 2

and I know have 3 on my file. I need to make 12 more. RCT3 is MORE better but you need a ultra good computer. Else, you dont get to downlaod more stuff, and put more stuff.

I have RCT2 also! Its fun. But you dont get to view it. I have a few good coasters and a lot of skyscraper videos!:D Go check them out. Hurricane River is a water ride(The best vid I have!)

[berflaberab2]

Maaan i want that game!

[zellfyre]

they should make a state of the art city built from scratch that has the tallest buildings in the world.

[berflaberab2]

Can anyone please tell me why they would want to build something so big in North Korea if it is extreemly difficult to step with in the countries borders! And even when you do get a visa to go into the country you might die in a plane crash considering that the only airline that carries people into the counrty is Air Koryo which is the worlds only 1 star Airline!

[AcelaExpress2213]

The New Symbol Of north Korea.

[sundown220]

they did it because a south korean contractor at the time recently completed the tallest hotel in the world (the building was a hotel in china) The north korean regime has to much pride, the building itself is fascinating, Good job Hallow on the video

[afiqer93]

I thought Raffles Hotel(Singapore) was the tallest Hotel..

[shady110]

hongkong best!

[SkyscraperWorld]

YOUR RIGHT SHADY110 HONG KONG IISSSS THE BEST Did you forget to say something too? China is BEST? CHINA IS THE MOST POPULATED PLACE BECAUSE OF THE CITY SKYLINES:D 75% of the skyscrapers are in China 70% of the best skylines are in China CHINA IS LIKE THE RICHEST COUNTRY EVER LIKE CHINA IS THE REAL WORLD (Except Northern China) Imma hafta go Hong Kong one day they said they have 3,100buildings over 300ft and NYC...only 810 HAHA

[shady110]

damn right!

[berflaberab2]

chinese isnt the best fucking country u fuck head, they friggin breed like fucking rats, like no offence, i love chinese but theres to many, tell the guys yo where a condom! Gawsh and china is not the richest country in the world, switzterland is u stupid fuck! because they know how to actually run an economy

AND THEY DONT STEAL AND COMPLETELY DESTROY A WHOLE FRIGGING CULTURE

FREE TIBET!

[AcelaExpress2213]

Are You Going to make a part 3?

[AcelaExpress2213]

The Burj Dubai, Pentorans Twin towers, Taipei 101, Jim mou Building, Flatiron, Sears, Chystlyer, Where Are They?

[ChannelFavorite]

Well this video is part 1 of a 2 part series

part 1: 21-10

part 2: 9-1 including a bit on Burj Dubai....

[FavoriteHallow]

I have split this project into 2 parts, you must not have seen the Giants In The Sky pt2

[Luckypet4747]

Your missing two VERY VERY IMPORTANT ONES!

Transamerica Pyramid Tower(SanFrancisco)

And

Us Bank Tower(Los Angeles)

[FavoriteHallow]

I was attempting to tribute the top 20 tallest buildings in the world approximately 1.5 years ago. A lot has changed in this small amount of time.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

The Empire State building still has that mystique to it.

[cruisedragon]

wow look at the wonders of human civilization... bravo!... reach for the sky!

[sandorolah1987]

Not just the CN tower, where's the Sears tower, Teipei 101, The Petronas Towers, Burj Dubai, and a lot more?

[123456dl]

Is the Empire State the one who hold the title for highest building for the longest period of time? And still 9th today. pretty good for 1931 construction

[AttackOFTHEPIE]

Wheres the CN Tower?

[Nilesarnondogoode]

The CN tower is in Toronto.

[AttackOFTHEPIE]

I'm not dumb, I live in Toronto... I meant why isn't the CN Tower in this video. But thanks anyways.

[Nilesarnondogoode]

oh, i'm sorry, lol

yeah i wondered why it only stopped at the 9th tallest as well

[AttackOFTHEPIE]

No problem. From what I know the CN Tower is bigger than all these buildings. However, i've only heard it's the tallest freestanding structure... O_O So I need to look more into it.

[forem69]

Ryugyong Hotel is not completed, so it don't belong to this top.

[ChannelFavorite]

I included it only because I was amazed to see a tower in the top 20 that had not been actually completed. It seemed so disturbing to see it in the list I kept it in. It also does show up on many lists of the top 20 but not any more.

[raid3r125]

towers in kaula lumpur

[TheWestWillRule]

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.

[dodgyhingst]

Awesome vid there FavoriteHallow.

yklman5.....are you for real? You are sitting at a computer to view this video.

Type "Taipei 101" into that search line on your puter and answer your own question.

What are you.....NEW?

[FavoriteHallow]

That means a lot to me, Thank you for watching. I have others on my channel, I would be curious if you have viewed any of the others.....ERic

[yklman5]

Where is Taipei 101????????????????

[GordonofSeattle]

This is a 2 part flick

[cntowerguy]

[Taurus702B]

None of the buildings in this video are in Japan.

[Mamba205]

Taipei 101 is in Taiwan.

[cntowerguy]

i know that

[Mamba205]

sorry. must of thought you were the other person!

[cntowerguy]

o kk

[koreabest]

Taiepi 101 is in Taiwan

[onstageagain]

very nice...

[FavoriteHallow]

Thank you for the compliment. I used iMovie and really attempted to add feeling to the images....Thanks. Eric

[williamhassell]

amazing vid !!!

[FavoriteHallow]

Thank you for that. This is a project I am soon going to have to update given the buildings being erected currently. Eric

[ajjal2]

Beautiful!

[FavoriteHallow]

Thank you very much. Eric

[goldenring005]

Superb vIDEO

[HAXDproductions]

[dpederson16]

Ryugyong hotel is in North kOrea?

[besselfunctions]

Yep. It's unoccupied and falling into ruin.

[lqlw]

[nxmoparmatt84]

[HiAdrian]

Very nice, i love how you added a music theme to the different regions. Good atmosphere!

[HiAdrian]

Kevin ShIElds

PhiLip Glass

:)

[zmoney682]

that dubai hotel looks so cool, ryugyong is one scary mother, did u skip 20?

[Richguy9992]

very odd and it goes withthe video. 5 stars

[Richguy9992]

Great music where can i get it

[FavoriteHallow]

At the end of the video you can see the song list. Rather odd selection, eh?

[Jxigor]

I'm sorry but I'm wrong, i'm sorry,

[FavoriteHallow]

No apology necessary. Just glad that you communicated a possible error. Thanks for checking out this feature, I really enjoyed putting them together, as well as researching the topic. Eric

[Jxigor]

I'm sorry but Burj dubai It isn't that I see in the video, te 21th is Burj Al Arab, it is an Hotel in Dubai

[FavoriteHallow]

The Burj Dubai is at the end of "Giants In The Sky 2" at the end for it is not complete, but I do pay homage. Burj Al Arab is the first building in this feature. I created this some time ago and it seems to have had some minor changes in order because of the completion of Minsheng Bank Building, Wuhan, China and Rose Tower, Dubai. So I guess I will have to make some adjustments. Thankyou....

[wawaweewa94]

it would suck so bad to have to work at the top of one of these

[crnisimi]

that building from korea is a little scary :S

[klipsch21]

its an unfinished hotel, it would have been the worlds tallest hotel if completed but the developers ran out of money to continue so its just sitting there abandoned

[crnisimi]

thats kinda funny that they have no money haha

[delboyski]

Ryugyong Hotel; is that for pigeons, now?

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[pingacoja]

it is for your mami

[Dzhendobri]

dear pi,

you speaking to me?

cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[OdysseyArts]

Nice video. Good job... All these structures are interesting and impressive. Yet, I STILL think the Empire State Building has the most classic and pleasing lines.

[coolcoolcoolest]

I made 3 video like this but I only upload one just click on my account and click on Top 10 Tallest Skyscraper # 1 it going to be kind of like this but I give out a bit more information

[FavoriteHallow]

The concrete that was used in the construction was so poor that it has no structural integrity.

[GoogleSheriff]

The Ruyuong Hotel or w.e was never completed.

[FavoriteHallow]

Yes, that is the consensus, nor can it ever be completed in its current condition.

[economistBR]

Another thing, Ryugyong Hotel is considered a structure not a building.

It makes sense, because buildings have people in it.

The Pyramids and the Eiffel tower aren't buildings either are structures.

[FavoriteHallow]

This is not a project attempting to define such trivial details. We could discuss the definition of spire if you would like?

[economistBR]

I just tried to alert you to the fact that there is a surprising complicated criteria defining both the height of the building and what a building is.

But hey, you can create your own criteria. No problem

[FavoriteHallow]

I absolutely was motivated by this tall completely original, concrete structure left to scar the landscape with Hope that will never be. It really saddened me when I saw these images for the first time, I had not seen an image of a building so large but never finished. I guess I included it to show that this world of superstructures is not without its tragedies.

[economistBR]

Actually, Ryugyong Hotel is not a building because it's not habitable.

Look it up on Wikipedia, the building has to FULLY habitable in order to be considered.

[FavoriteHallow]

Super, I personally felt that it belonged. Not to many structures that height unfinished....It is in a league of its own, wouldn't you think?

[economistBR]

Sure it is. Besides I naturally reject anything North Korean because of their brutal and corrupt regime.

[agardebring]

I've been up in number 12 and number 9. But damn. Look at that freakin' new tower in Dubai! I gotta go see that one when it's up..

[FavoriteHallow]

I am not sure about it aesthetic-al value from the ground view. Like many skyscrapers they only take on reality from far away.

[agardebring]

Well, that's hard to know until it's finished I suppose, at the moment just a few floors have started to get windows so its all just mostly concrete as of yet. Personally I think most skyscrapers work fine close up to, standing at the bottom looking up...

Nicly done, makes you realise were gainin up really quickly on the Blade Runner style sky scrapers ect. Give it another 10 or 15 years theres even gonna be some ridilous monsters even larger than Taipia 101 - it won t take that long check out the monster in dubai

[graveforensics]

very good vids, but jeez....arnt you glad that we have a lot of faith to the brilliant engineers and builders to erect these towers and they are still standing.

[throughnet]

cool building

[dajahew1]

is the empire state the tallest in the world

[FavoriteHallow]

I still think that the Empire State Building is large, yet I am sorry that it is very soon to be a distant cousin of the Big Boys....

[PeoplesGeneral]

No, its number 9. Look at the numbering on his list.

Check out skyscrapperpage dot com.

[FavoriteHallow]

this comment seems like a reply. I used a number of lists while creating this video, do you disagree with the order?

[PeoplesGeneral]

It was a reply... to Dajahew1's comment...

[lolkid101]

of course NOT ! it was taipei 101 yes u heard correct IT WAS !!! Cuz now its a new skycraper in Dubai wich isnt finish yet but IS ALREDY TALLER than tapei 101 !! AMAZING isnt it !

[elmolives]

[fcporto06]

Hey, check out Giants In The Sky pt 2 they are in there. Thanks for viewing. Eric

Great Video, I really liked it...

[FavoriteHallow]

Hey, Thank you very much for your comment. I absolutely enjoyed the process of finding the images and permissions, than putting it together with a flavor for each building. I hope your interest was large enough to include part 2. Again, thanks for your compliment.
