Probably built on quick sand....

But very impressive!

I just want to know how they are going to dismantle the cranes on the top?

Yeah i'd be feeling slightly more than queasy well before i'd reached the top that carbuncle.

I remember going on a school RE trip to Coventry Cathedral, and going up to the top of the old Cathedral spire, and looking over the edge. Felt bloody awful at about 600 feet, so God knows what i'd feel like at the top of that thing.
