New Meaning To Mile High

Mile-Tower


Standing over 5,000 feet, the proposed MILE tower in Jeddah City Saudi Arabia will someday claim the coveted title of world's tallest building. Although technically we can build as high as we want, other variables prevent skyscrapers from every going this tall. Issues like transport, safety, and evacuation.

But that's not gonna stop the investors in this project. If anything it's more a symbol of power and wealth in the Middle East. Still this is chump change compared to Japan's proposed XSEED.

I guess nobody needs to worry. if you need to escape, they should just have parachutes from the top floor.

O... that very dangerous, because according to prophet Islamic literature, around that place will be 'Shocked' few times. But I still no idea what going to happen earthquake or war. But based from signs it happen in near future.

Definitely one of the last signs of the day of judgment coming true that illiterate Arabs will compete to build very tall buildings.

Sounds like another bid to attract attention to a design company... like XSEED was.
