Introducing the “Burj Dubai”. Currently under construction, it has already overtaken Taipei 101 to become the new World’s Tallest Building.

When completed in 2009 it will be over half a mile high, with 160 storeys. That’s like stacking 2 Empire State buildings on top of each other.

In this video from the Discovery channel, Matt Rogers takes a look inside the unfinished building including a view from the 137th floor.
