Burj Dubai / Burj Khalifa grand opening

A video of my view of the launch of the Burj Dubai or "Burj Khalifa" as it is now called - complete with music, audience sounds, etc.. The tower has been revealed to be 828meters high - the tallest man-made structure on Earth.

The building is so huge, I simply could not fit in the dancing fountains (also World's biggest) and the lower fireworks which you will hear as they build the atmosphere prior to the show. Skip to 3m25secs if you just want the action!

Hard to describe the amazing atmosphere - the whole Downtown Burj area was completely rammed with excited people. Some estimates say over 400,000 people attended.
