Taipei 101 Damper movement on 12 May 08

101 is such an amazing place
i love the shops in there!!!!!
I luv Taiwan!

Fascinating!
The only footage of a mass damper in action that I have seen.

That is pretty scary! Did you feel the building move at all?

amazing man...and dangerous too..when i'm been there...it wasen't moving

660 tons if for some reason the ropes broke goodbie tower lol

thank fuck i live in a country with no natural disasters!

ethiopian09 this is not a shit technique the reason why the burj dubai doesn't require one of these is because dubai is an area of low siesmic activity and therfore only requires to be able to withstand wind. The Taipei 101 has to cope with both high winds and earthquakes so this is the perfect engineering to keep it upright and being able to be resistant to earthquake effects especially those induced by Love & Rayleigh Waves.

that shit is soooo fucking gay, that building is fucking pussy compared to the burj dubai, that building is sooooo old it has a ball to balance out the weight when the building sways!! the burj dubai was built by smart engineers that had arrow dynamics in mind with a curve structure so the building doesnt sway as much as this small piece of shit.

Me gustaria estar alli, debe ser increible...
