  • they already had the tallest building!!!

  • Take that America????? What the? Are you really so arrogant that you think Dubai builds these fabulous buildings to spite the USA? Dozens of other countries have buildings taller than anything in the USA. Psssst, haven't you heard the USA is now stuffed with their ruined economy and people working for five bucks an hour.

  • Funny think is, Cenk's prediction was right. They got fucked on the deal.

  • you're just jealous ! :P poor people! i feel sorry for you guys!

  • this guy is just envy,, hahahaha

  • no one talked to u asshole :)

  • i hate this fat retarded turk !! who always speak shit and judge people who are better than him ,, he should look at him self first before talking about others !!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • People who are better than him, He's talking about a building retard.

  • ive watched two videos with this guy and he gets more annoying by the scond

  • This presenter is so fucking annoying (i forget his name??), he always looks at the negative in everything. I am pretty certain there were dicks like him around when they wanted to build the Empire state building.. wtf man its called progress let it go see some benefit of this project

  • once again a country trying to be like america.

  • @thelookout42420

    dubia is trying to be like america?

    loooool

    america sucks compared to dubia ,i am sorry but dubia has the best skyscrapers in the world

  • Defination of a workplace.You american hate Arabs ,No matter what they do.I am terribly sorry for you people..............

  • the host is muslim of middle eastern and european decent

  • nah it takes seconds to get from top to bottom.

    some speculate 45 seconds -1.5 minutes. maybe less.

  • an American maoning about size? lol America sucks lol

  • fukk u .... no1 likes america.. dubai is the bestt

  • this man was bron frm asshole..................

  • People ALWAYS say foreigners are jealous of Americans, but Americans are obviously jelous of others also.

  • For a progressive, he sure like to put down people who trying to expanded the limit of human engineering.

  • Dubai is the best city of the World

  • best city to be raped and harassed by arabs! arab men raping men wtf!

  • Haha, I love Dubai so much... would do nearly anything to live there. Hey, a house on the palms is only two-and-a-half million USD, so if the exchange rate against the AED somehow explodes, a life there is actually reasonably priced.

  • But at less they''re making new Stuff

  • Is this the way all American people think .. ?

    Yeah,, the tallest dynamic building in the world has slow elevator ,, That ( even for stupid people ) doesn't make any sense .. !!

  • feed the starving why spend money of this crap u selfsish greedy arabs

  • i don't often like what these turks say but this time they were spot on. other times thet are a bunch of liberal biased retards(

  • corruption makes all this stupid projects possible

  • you American are jeoulus from all the other develoment  countries.

  • 'Overcompensation' for broke ass countries... but when ur economy is gettin stronger by the day in a country such as UAE, there's nothing known as 'OVER'spending.. soooo, fuck that.. they can do watever they want with their money... n I will be one of the tourists who flies there just to have a look once this tall skyscraper is complete!

  • just so that you guys know its supposed to be having the fastest elevator so no it would not take that long for the person to get his keys back from his apartment or office.. nd am pretty sure even standard elevators in America wouldn't take one nd a half hour to go up nd down.. if it does take that long i feel real sorry for you guys.. no offense.. nd yea its not about the ego they're just trying to promote tourism.. nd yes they do have PDA nd some law problems which they are working on..

  • How disgustingly racist.

  • what an idiot this presenter is!

  • and dubai wants to make a stupid moving tower and thats going to be a hudge ass fail because why would u want a rotating build with ppl puking all over the place plus if there was a disaster it would be to hard to fix da problem

  • It will rotate very slowly and generate enough renewable electricity to power itself and 5 other skyscrapers.

    Do some research before opening your stupid gob.

  • Dubai should change its laws, if they UAE wants my tourism business because I will be visiting there with my gf I will use PDA like in US and Canada and other western countries.

  • We use PDA's in UAE even before it was introduced in america - gotta love china

  • saleen, yes you may have started PDA. China allows PDA in public. I don't mean to belitlle Dubai. However, I want to visit but I don't like the laws. The laws that don't care about tourism business. Public PDA in dubai is illegal and I know it.

  • i dont think u ever been to Dubai! cause i use a PDA myself and it is allowed in public ur just talking none sense.

    why would they ban PDA's ? u make me laugh, everyone uses them in dubai, abu dhabi, etc.

  • btw the laws worked for millions of people who visited UAE, we dont need ur tourism, common how much will we make 3000 bucks?, its not worth it to have u

  • Shouldn't we give Obama more time to demonstrate that America isn't run by psychotic bullies before visiting? I'd be embarrassed to go to an Islamic nation after so many decades of pretty much just exploiting them.  If my dog took a shit in your yard every day, and I did nothing to stop it, I wouldn't expect to be welcome at your New Years eve party.

  • Believe me people like you are more then welcome to visit UAE.

  • Retards. 1 hour and a half to get up and down? Thats why there will be 300 elevators, a very well thought through network of them. U probaby won't spend more time getting up and down than in the WTC.

    Anyway if u forgot ur key, u call ur secretary to toss them down. Simple as that.

  • Haha take that america

  • Dubai is like the U.S. financial crisis-

    yet another example of the hubris and

    folly of human race. All to a vain end.

  • fucking stupid ass white people!!!

    they need to educate themselves.

    yah they wanna be proud, what does america have to be proud of?? a bunch of fucking hicks, and ghetto trashy ppl??

  • where are you from you racist ignorant douchebag? im sure nowhere special. eat shit.

  • meant for khosh

  • im persian bitch, and you sound like an uneducated loser.

  • yea persian, last time i checked there hasnt been a persian empire for a while now. where would i go if I wanted to visit? mesopotamia sounds nice. maybe i can finally get around to picking up some frankincense and myrrh while im there.

  • how about you say where you are from. iran, iraq, saudia arabia, or some other neighboring country. get over it. its not around anymore.  and you assuming all white people are uneducated hicks or trashy "ppl" is plain ignorance and stupidity. do yourself a favor and keep your opinions in "persia". and also, its people asshole, not ppl.

  • I'm IRANIAN!! Iranian and Persian are the same thing smart one.

    thank you, you just proved my point that white "ppl" are stupid. Iran is completely different from the other countries you listed!! go educate yourself and once you have the right facts come try and insult me.

  • woah woah woah now, its not liek the persian empire didnt stretch across a huge area or anything. your assumptions of western education is pretty lame guy. and what else do u have about white people being uneducated? do you have the slightest idea about my level of education? im sorry i dont want to take time away from you beating one of your wives for disobeying you. sorry i really am.

  • im too young to be married, and im actually a female.

    by the way you are on here telling me i shouldn't be judgmental or racist but look what you're doing?

    oh and by the way... the only thing Iran has in common with Iraq, Saudi Arabia and their neighbors is its religion, and nothing else. we speak a different language, have different cultures and structures. so actually its you that's stupid and ignorant :)

  • tbh, ur comment a couple of posts back wasn't any better. but i won't judge u, as it seems u r like 22 years of age, still much to learn :) rebellish at that age, people r, yes! esp when they r a new gen. of emancipating women in a society that supressed them for centuries. iran is a fine country, its just the leadership thats a little rotten. like in the US a couple of months back.

  • you guys are stupid stfu

  • hahah dumb ass

  • hahaha nice video

  • Although he is right about Dubai overcompensating and trying too hard to compete with the U.S, he still sounded like an idiot...

  • most useless building

    oil bubble was over....

    arabian has no plan of the future.

  • do some research dude, they own a casino or 2 in vegas. they have invested in many markets around the world. they knew oil wasent gonna be forever and they are way ahead of U.S in the matter of finances. U.S puts too much money in military, nothing in education.

  • visit uaestarguide,com

    it is all about UAE

  • clearly he doesnt know what hes talking about..

  • this guy is a fuckin idiot

  • what a 9 carrot dick head!

  • Actually, they will implement elevators that travel at 40 MPH, meaning it would take less than 90 seconds to travel from the lobby to the highest floor. That would be a 3-minute round-trip journey. Not bad for a 1.4km tower.

  • This guy is an idiot because he talks like one.

  • That guy

    Is Dumb

  • shut the FUCK up u stupid amateur...you don't anything about engineering to speak...plus you're just jelous man...its not that dubai wants the best of everything..yeah they got money so y not...y are you so jelous about it...feel sorry for you dude..

  • nice good

  • somebody please shoot that idiot

  • i just want to watch a video about the burj dubai not some dumbass guy talk bad about everything!!!

  • Dubai is chllin, its just simply the best place to be. Come here and ull know what im saying. Till then dont say a word about Dubai coz its my country and I love it coz it belongs to Sheikh Zayed. May God rest his soul.

  • Are you kidding? The punishment for homosexuality in Dubai is death. The United Arab Emirates is ranked literally last in the world in gender equality and over half the population never graduates secondary school. These buildings are all designed by foreigners and paid for with the last of the oil money that is quickly running out.

  • If Sheikh Zayed really wanted to help Dubai, he would be building schools. These skyscrapers are all for use by wealthy foreigners and Dubai will be crushed under them.

  • dude the elevator is fast! so shut up!

  • wtf this guy is a fucking douche!Let them build what they want, who gives a fuck!

  • Wow...this guy needs to go to school and study...fool and illogical!

  • That was the stupedest shit i've ever seen. That was such a non-argument, they just came across as jealous children.

  • one hour to go get you keys? sure it that's where u live :)...stupid is not enough to describe your thinking...these buildings' elevators run in seconds..secondly, they build these tall building to utilize the land, it's better to have a building that accommodates hundreds..that having couple of houses that accommodates 3 families.

    you've got to read more about smartness and business u idiot..

  • This guys an idiot dubai has indoor ski slopes man made islands ect ect ect... they project that their oil runs dry in 2015 they want to make dubai a tourists attraction to attract people. They are smart and want to keep their economy booming. also this guys set looks like the highschool news program. fucking amature sucks and doesnt know what he is talking about.

  • Sorry Turkey isnt doing anything that makes the news.

  • this fuuckin crack ed is jealous of are city and that guy isnt even american dubai is the one mate am from there united arab emirates but live in the u.k

  • wow they are so jealous. this guy suck

  • lol-he sounds jealous

  • They can not possibly be crushed financially, that's why they're building all this stuff. Have you seen their cars!?

  • fuck USA

  • ahahahahahha america is soooo jealous. Dubai is the best arab countrie!

  • fuck u ithink that americans are starting to be jealous because dubai is a very nice country and it's a MUSLIM country so eat that USA!

  • Want to know something about Dubai's economy? It's filled with western expatriates-most of them being American.

    This is assuming you even know what an expatriate is.

  • I bet you've never even been to Dubai because the American have only been flooding into Dubai recently (2 years) ago. Take it from someone who knows; I grew up in Dubai

  • i wish i lived in dubai thats the NWO throne the seat of power the bees knees

    you guys got good things comin and america has poop comin

  • NWO: niggers with ottitude.

    Joke.

  • evry one rember 11of sep and the air line company were not flying and all airline business get down... but dubai order 100 boing 777 >> by the end dubai win the race>>> that mean dubai will win

  • 1h 30min to go up and down, shutup, the elevators to that in 4 8 minutes asshole

  • so what if if you lose 1hour and a half of youre life.

    and why America looking down at other countries

    let Dubai have what they whant, why America like geting in the way.

  • Fox right? sounds like it anyway

  • lol is he a nazi? xD

  • My comment was in response to "megamarsvin" by the way...

  • yet more evidence that the Americans just can't bare being outdone what a dreadfull mentality you have. Never able to applaude anyone elses efforts but always drum up your own no wonder nobody in the world likes you.

  • i think UAE is goin down the same pass as japan in from late 70s to 80s over building

  • Jealouse Yankie faggot.

  • this guy is so stupid that makes me sick, if he want to go down the building fast, just jump from it...

  • that american dude is just jealous and stupid he as saying how about if someone forgot his key and he's going to waist one hour to get it,, i say you fucking damnass do you know the speed of the elevator ???? it can reach the ground floor in seconds stupid...

  • I guess it's not the smartest decision but it's still very impressive if they pull it off. Anyways, you guys are retarded. Why would you take an hour and a half to go up and down the elevator?

  • Someone else will just want to build an even taller building. Why do you think America is going down as a super power? Crap like this will only hurt America, according to the anglo-elite who run America, but then again...they want to see America fall. Everyone has to be BETTER than everyone, where did this view come from??

  • Better then all US...

  • he is a funking jealous...

  • yeah your right he is jealous..JEALOUS

  • It reminds me of the empire state building which opened in 1930 just in time for the great depression.

  • *1931

  • I think this is a classic example of using your money to prove a point. We all know they have money but there are so many things they could do that would be so much better. There are people ying in this world for so many dumb reasons. They obviously have their house in order maybe they need to be neighborly before the party's over. That oil wealth won't last forever.

  • Dubai's main business has been trading and services to the other parts of the region and the world. It could be the only gulf city that developed from sheer business planning. For your information, Dubai doesnt sell oil. It imports most of its oil and pertoleum from neighbouring city Abu Dhabi (capital of UAE). I had lived in dubai for 8 yrs now and have seen the city grow wonders overnight. And there will be lots more to come, than a few towers. So keep your ignorant jealousy to yourself.

  • yep,

    your right oil wealth wont last forever,

    thats why they are building projects for tourism and financial services right now, so we wont be dependent on oil money which CURRENTLY accounts for about 3.7% of DUBAI's ECONOMY....these people are smart, at least they spend their money for the people unlike in the states where the big oil companies rake in ALL the profits to themselves...

    good day!

  • good point oslex. the reason why global oil prices dropped was due to the fact UAE and Saudi Arabia realised their economies are based strictly off oil exports, so they increase production to defer the US and Europe from going into renewable engeries. Just wait when renewable energy become so accessable and big oil needs a bailout, and our government socializes their loss to the tax payer.

  • It's all well and good to build up finacial services for the future but some of the projects just don't make sense. I come from a country that should have been building up finacial services in preparation for the future. Many people chose to flex their money instead. When the party was ended it was a disaster. You can't deny that the buildings are from oil wealth and I won't deny there's business being done there. We will only know what's up when the tall buildings are left vacant.

  • lols here's some jealous motherfuckers.. yeah.. so what.. y u think others have built the tallest buildings then??.. wasnt there gonna be an atempt somwhere else anyway! the country's economy is growing fast and yes.. they r proud!! u wudnt say that if it was japan!!.. oh wait u still probably wud!! god bless america right!!

  • Oh I forgot my keys!

  • a group of pepole think dubie is evil becuse they are doing this.

    we are the idots who keep buying there oil if you had millions of dollers in your back yard what youd just let it decompose and go to wast or would you build jobs and houses for pepole.

    the reson for the building is to give pepole jobs like building it mantnens and cleaning crews.

    the dubi goverment is takeing care of its citazens

  • Not evil, just silly. Like the guy said, do YOU wanna live at the top of that thing?

  • yeah i wish that ! can i?

    cause i dont have money to buy

    do you have money to buy ?

    no!

    then shut up!

    its like someone said( satans dream is to be in paradise) and HE WILL NEVER GET IT AS YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT GET THE TOP OF THAT BUILDING

  • No one is saying the Dubai government is evil but it is short-sighted. They're doing exactly the same thing the US did which is now causing massive financial problems; they had a huge income from oil which they shifted to housing and financial services industries, both of which are currently experiencing a massive bubble.

    That bubble will burst sooner or later (given current economic climate, I'd say sooner) and all those houses will be worthless. Dubai should save a bit of cash for the future.

  • I'm afraid this is not true for UAE, because they don't lend money to finance their project. They simply have so redicilous much money they don't know what to do with it. The financial bubble in the western world is tied to bad morgages, and if you don't have any morgage you can't have bad morgages and thus no financial crisis.

  • This man is suoer jealous

  • I wonder if they buy materials from the U.S. since we buy allot of there oil?

  • Ahh...their economy is riduculously strong. Let em' spend the way they want.

  • zigglezworth

    we dont really have a problem with terrorist. unless you give them a reason to do so.

    we dont get into other people's business and mind our own.

  • whats wrong with having the tallest building in the world empire state used to be the tallest for many years, so becoz UAE is building one now its ridiculous ?!!

    and about giving money to the poor and not spending it on such stuff. "It is an obligation on Muslims to pay 1/40th (2.5%) of the wealth which they have had for a full lunar year + many charities that UAE holds every year and it well known and documented world wide.

    I cant really see the problem here ?!!!

  • the empire state building isn't 10 football fields tall though...they could have made the tallest building without making it that goddamn tall

  • I was about to write the exact thing you wrote...

    It used to be good to have the tallest buildings.. but not anymore? ha.

  • Because they're building it for the sole purpose of being the tallest -- no other reason. Half the rooms in the building won't even be leased/rented.

  • to many people are just ignorant UAEaway....

    sadly no one is really gonna take their heads out of their arse nowadays

  • whether they're trying to get some attention or just proving a huge feat of modern 21st century engineering, it's still pretty badass either way. so is the underwater hotel they've got going, the hydropolis. although i must say they're idiots for spending billionz and not thinking terrorists are going to totally target that shit.

  • Just men trying to compensate for tiny penises...

  • Funny to hear that from a Chinese dude...

  • yeah funny 2 hear that from a chinese schmuck that is!!

  • go fuck urself u dweeb shit!!!

  • ur jokes.

  • hahaha. "Oh, I forgot my keys."

  • I hate the UAE so fucking much it's ridiculous.

  • Why you think they do it to compensate America? The US is not even near in the competion , may be Malaysia or Hong Kong , but the US !!

  • its pathetic that that's what people spend their money on when they could be helping the millions of people around the world suffering.

    ~pathetic :(

  • This was a silly video man. See how we put ourselves on a pedestal?.. We build/have built some of the largest buildings on earth and nobody blinks twice at it.

    But when another country does it they are thinking "Take that America"... SMH. Very ignorant.

  • Just calllm down.

  • They should spend their oil money on Solar Panels and other renewable tech.

  • Im going to drop a penny from it!

  • Wait long enough, and Bin Laden will. They hate capitalist Arab governments that work with the US almost as much as the US itself.

  • yeah. who wants to be in an office building so tall that as soon as a fire breaks out you risk the entire thing exploding to the ground in little more time than falling through air.

  • Oh, so when others do it it's "overcompensation", but the American skyscrapers weren't, like the Empire State Building in 1931, the years of the crisis?

    American jealousy, that's all it is...sigh

  • ooh aaaaahh dubia ooh this ahahahahahahahahahaahahahah.

  • Research first... I love TYT, but please do your research. They have elevators that take you to the top in seconds... not an hour

  • its a figure speech, thats a long way to go up

  • SECONDS!?!?! Fuck, I would puke all my organs out if it went that fast! AKA Your're comment is made of bullshit.

  • "SECONDS!?!?! Fuck, I would puke all my organs out if it went that fast! AKA Your're comment is made of bullshit."

    Stop parading your ignorance.

    already in Taipei 101 the elevator runs at a top speed of 1,010 meters per minute when ascending (600 meters per minute on the way down), which works out ot 60.6 kilometers per hour.

    Sinocian is right. The elevator will take you to the top in seconds.

  • Well he may be speaking of the truth but still, THAT HIGH IN SECONDS?! WTF.

  • "which works out ot 60.6 kilometers per hour."

    I believe the tour guide in the WTC said it's elevator did around 70mph... so yeah it sounds about right.  The elevator to go to the observation deck was the size of a small school classroom. lol

  • she gives me the world's tallest skyscraper 8-)

  • more like. molehill. oh snap.

  • AAAHahahaha, oh, I forgot my keys.

    that was classic

  • wtf!!! that's funny look who's talking!!! you an american the last one who talk about the tallest building in the world why you take a look again at empire state and sears tower and all clouds buildings in New York and Chicago

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I love dubai, I wish I could move back :(

  • It's all about who's Dick is bigger.

  • Whose***

    And mine is bigger :D

    Wooooo I just made two really obnoxious points XD

  • What the hell do we need to waste more money for just to have a skyscraper to look at? That's foolishness.

  • retarded people, anyways cn tower is winning

  • Like building the Empire State building in 1931, the years of the crisis...sigh

  • lol the reporters are retarded if everyone were like them horses would still be used for transports.
