@@vicdu1995 you can make an argument that industrial revolution skyscrapers of the US and Europe benefitted from poor labor rights, but it’d be a stretch to call it slave labor. Today the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar literally provide worse conditions for their workers than the West did a century ago (complete with confiscating their visas and passports, literally enslaving them). If this was happening in the US or Europe, leaders would be imprisoned, but because these assholes have a lot of oil we let it slide

Also, I hate to sound condescending -it isn't my intent- but not including the first structure to surpass 1000 feet when the Washington monument was noted does sound like a strange reason.

I, too, refuse to call it anything but the Sears Tower. A theory I have as to why the Sears Tower was so cheap to build: Sears paid for the entire building themselves, not a city or government of any kind so I'm sure they were keeping an eye on their money. Private business = efficiency.

While it's true that the Empire State Building is still one of the tallest buildings in New York, it's actually not the second tallest anymore. In 2015, it was surpassed by 432 Park Avenue and relegated to the third place spot. The enormous residential tower at Park Avenue isn't that hyped because it's generally not looked at favorably by the population of the city. Its aesthetics are...well, awful. It's just a giant box with overly large windows.

yep, it was pathetic on a global scale. I hear it is just taller than the eiffel tower.

[@jabber1990]

I forget if its the Burj Kalipha or the Clock tower in Mecca, but they were scared to enter it because you pray at a diffrent time when you're on top of the building than you do when you're on the bottom

[@Ultraempoleon]

These heights... can I be the first to nope being in them

[@estebanquinones4210]

Actually the Empire State building is the third tallest building here in New York City, the World Trade Center being the first and 432 Park Avenue being the second. The Empire State building will soon become the fourth tallest building in NYC, with the completion of Two World Trade Center

Soon enough, all of these rich Arab countries are going to collapse when their oil will drain. Except maybe Dubai, their economy is not entirely based on oil anymore.

[@mmmchikenwangz8005]

Dubai isn't a country, it's a city in the UAE.

[@rigelbound6749]

EliM I meant United Arab Emirates

[@mmmchikenwangz8005]

amir halperin Yeah, the UAE. :p

[@anasalharthi979]

you do realize that if oil runs out not only the middle east countries will collapse but even European countries and the usa

[@rigelbound6749]

Anas Alharthi The west can find other sources of oil and energy, but the middle east can't find other sources of income.

The Empire State Building was actually only 1250 feet when it was completed. It was still record breaking, but it didn't reach 1,454 until 1950 when a radio mast was added to the top.

[@aBitterMelon]

+aBitterMelon Also your information about the World Trade Center is off. The north tower was built in 1973 and was the tallest building in the world, but because of the roof height and not the antenna. The building lost the title in 1974 but the building's antenna wasn't completed until 1978 or so.

lol I've been to Grand Island, Nebraska multiple times

[@tetrishater5588]

Your reasoning for leaving out the eiffel tower makes zero sense, but at least you mentioned it.

[@mememachine2356]

Funny, I've been in most of theses. Except the twin towers. Definitely not the twin towers.

[@EmmaLanceNordahl]

@A Depressed Anarchist you know they rebuilt those right?

[@benn454]

@@EmmaLanceNordahl No, they didn't. One World Trade is a single, taller building. 1776 feet.

[@EmmaLanceNordahl]

@@benn454 point still stands that it was rebuilt

[@EmmaLanceNordahl]

@@benn454 also, really? You choose to be a correctionest when you have nothing better to do than make others feel stupid when all of us are going through the same pandemic and feel lonely and depressed. Thank you, fellow human, for bringing me down and making me feel just a little worse for saying that something that was destroyed in a terrorist attack was rebuilt after years.

I still doubt that faith can move mountains. I've seen what it can do to skyscrapers however.

[@maxis2k]

Wait, there's a Japanese structure taller than Tokyo Tower? Oh great, CLAMP is gonna have a field day... Also, the Abraj-Al Bait looks like someone wanted to make a tacky British themed casino for Las Vegas. And being right next to Mecca...that's just...wow.
