Burj Dubai - May '08 Update

[ColeFried81]

You know I look at this and ponder how there's probably not a soul on the planet that wants to fly a plane in to that building. They wouldn't dare to it to one of their own buildings now would they? Pricks.

This music is from Halo 3!!!

[D3QUAL]

no Halo 2 I think, certainly not the third one

[perth45]

Thanks....44c wouldn't bother me...I used to live in Perth WA where the summers often topped out 40 plus....however I don't think I'll be there now until October....then it's SURE to be finished.....Please check out my videos of my model.....especially the night time video........Thanks.....

[perth45]

Hi,

I'm coming to Dubai in August to see the finished Burj Dubai....I hear it may not complete then due to the economic downturn?...also...I want to stay in REAL dubai....where the REAL people live....any ideas?

[D3QUAL]

The Burj Dubai is planned to be opened on 09/09/09. So in August, it will be pretty much finished. The real Dubai people live near the old harbour/creek.

[AMD55AMD]

u want to visit my country in August

lol

it will be very hot its about 44c, means hot!

about the real people...

we don't live in these building

we live villas in any Village u will see

[SUPERALEX812]

perth if i were you i would find a villa in springs or meadows, or arabian ranches if you dont mind a longer car journey to get anywhere, or having to take the monorail everywhere. (does anybody know when the arabian ranches/dubailand monorail route opens by any chance?)

[SUPERALEX812]

once it got to 52c when i was there, af i were you i would try to not go between the months of june and august,because you will stand outside and instantly vaporize!

also it gets busy during those times.

if by "real people" you mean the native arabs, you have no chance unless your going to rent a multi million pound mansion in the lakes or on jumeirah beach road. you could find somewhere in deira, but its a shithole in there pretty much

[uaeemiratesuaedubai9]

[djohcoolio]

hi.

is the burj dubai too tall in your own opinion?

do you think it will ever be finished?

[SUPERALEX812]

it opens 9th september this year

[djohcoolio]

OH MY! I MUST VISIT

[PDC1987]

This building is now topped out, meaning it has reached its full structural height. It has 162 floors (not counting unoccupied mechanical levels) and stands 818 meters / 2,683 feet tall. It is just over 1,000 ft taller than the 2nd tallest building in the world, the 1,671 ft tall Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan. The cladding will now be applied to the uppermost levels and the spire and then interior work will start/continue. The building and its entire complex open on 09/09/09...

[DemonicFireFly117]

holy crap that thing stands out. I mean the city hardly has any sky scrapers and then that thing just booms out.

[PDC1987]

Dubai currently has about 20 buildings that are finished or well under construction that are/will be 1,000 ft tall or taller. Roughly 3x that of the #2 city. The pics just show the tower's complex and the immediate area, one part of the city.

[spetznazkye]

wooooo halo 2

[000ITURBE0000]

voy ir a dubai en dicienbre

[YOURTUBEISBROKEN]

iam thinking here that it would be so horrible if a terrorist attack or something were to just totally knock that down as soon as it is open that would be fucked up and kinda cool to see the tallest building just fall over

[shaperix]

Awesome!

[penpen125]

you D3QUAL is just copying the pictures in google and paste it in youtube!!! becoz i already saw that pictures in google, you better delete this video

[abdul456]

they are gonna make the Burj taller not realeseing the actual figures because another company wants to make a taller building. So they are gonna make it way taller from what I am hearing from my family in dubai

[Beccapoo2003]

Great pics! Thank you!! I was just there in June '08, and it is AMAZING how big and beautiful it is! I hear it's already booked up, too! Gawd, I wanna go back there!

[ariverarr]

[xMephasmx]

Nice video!

Do you know if they are already started to build the 1200m ''al burj'' ?

Or doesnt come that building anymore?

[D3QUAL]

That building will come. The fundaments are already there, but there isn't a final design yet.

[BarrieStylez]

Thanks for your fast respond.

Can we expect a new video next month ?

[D3QUAL]

Of course! But I don't know when yet, because I have exams and not so much time.

[BarrieStylez]

I understand.

I have exams too, tomorrow my last one.

[Panu53]

OMFG! 1200 METRES??

[x2zee123]

[Luu101]

[Djac0nda]

Very nice Movie Keep up!

[tikkasokka2]

whats the name of de track???

[D3QUAL]

"Peril" from the Halo 2-videogame soundtrack

[britoca]

nuts

[HiAdrian]

The construction skeleton at the narrow top looks like an exciting place, i'd love to walk around there and explore the view.

[yipset1]

nice video. i would have thought the building would have been a lot taller since the last update, considering each of the floors are narrowing. a fair snap shot of the two time periods can be seen at 2:40(april) and 2:36 (may). it looks as though more windows have been stuck on though.

[D3QUAL]

How higher the construction, how longer it will take to take equipment and construction materials to the top ;)

[robinho1979]

Burj Dubai has to be a Base Jumpers wet dream!!!

[D3QUAL]

There was already a person trying to jump of the Burj Dubai but was caught.

[Beccapoo2003]

Actually two, in June! I wish I had seen it... good for them! He, he!
