Hats off to those labourers and engineers working up there while constructing such skyscrapers
I think for freedom tower they should’ve put an observation deck at 1368, topped it out architecturally at 1776, and then added a spire to get the final height to 2001 ft to pay homage to the year it happened. That would’ve been better in my opinion. Still a great building though.
Well said!
Yeah, and comparing tallest buildings should be by spire height. The diagram looks shuffled up.

There are more of us who like to climb the currently tallest building in the world. 😉 I started back when the tallest buildings in the world were the Twin Petronas in KL. Then followed Taiwan's 101 Tower and most recently Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Even 10 kilometers, but those are not planned until the year 2500, so we will look at them from above...👻
That clock tower for sure is the most impressive. Sure, it's not the tallest, but for a clock tower it's pretty crazy. Plus, it's body is huge.

At a point, having a tall building becomes more about bragging rights and nothing to do with saving real estate.
Yes, I think anything over 60 storeys or so (experts used to say 40) becomes less economic, not more, due to the space you end up taking up with elevators and such. These are tall to be tall and put their cities "on the map" which might explain why the current race for the sky is almost wholly Asian-Middle Eastern. New York, London, Sydney etc. have no need to put ourselves on the map that way.

Petronas Twin Towers - The tallest twin towers in the world, and a beautiful one.
CN Tower in Toronto is 553 metres (147 stories) and opened in 1976, 11 years prior to the Taipei 101. The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. It is now the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.

As cool as they are, there are so many logistical problems with sky scrapers I can’t see them surpassing a certain barrier. The water issues they’ve had with The Burj Khalifa is long and well documented due to having to push water up so far up. They’ll need to seriously overpowered pumps to be able to pull off this shit unless they store water at the top of some of these towers, which will end up causing even more potential structural issues..
couldn't agree more....seems like such a waste of money and resources...especially now during covid. In almost all of the building descriptions the narrator mentions that these buildings are mostly "offices"...i bet these buildings are practically desolate now.....such a waste.

They are essentially just a skyscraper on a skyscraper just a lot thinner. The difference between spires and antennae’s are that you can change the height on them and they are completely for telephone and service purposes. Spires are for that and are just a small building on top a building
The Burj Khalifa has a 200 meter spire. That’s taller than most skyscrapers in the world alone. ! So what you would be saying is that the Shanghai tower, Burj Khalifa and pretty much every other building in the world is cheating. and the Shanghai tower has about a 100 ft spire You don’t even( or most wouldn’t) know it Some spires just come in different shapes and sizes

i think the clock tower one is the most impressive and imposing. you can build higher & thinner, but the clock tower seems massive
I'll stick to my one story home. After living through the most horrendous deadly earthquakes there is no way I'd want to be up in a skyscraper when disaster strikes.
I like the Abraj Al Bait Clocktower. It defies the trend of being a shiny, futuristic tube.
Just a copy of Big Ben 300 years later.. 😂 Very original.
@@BurnCrushExecute When you "copy" something 300 years later, it's called an homage. When your design looks the same as every other design from the last 15 years, it's a copy.
@@drewlovelyhell4892 it's a direct copy, get over it.
LOL, it really isn't. They are both clock towers. There are thousands of clock towers in the world, but Elizabeth Tower on the Houses of Parliament is the most famous example, so of course you think any other clock tower must be a copy.
The one in da UK is tiny
the spires of PNB 118 symbolizes the body of Tunku Abdul Rahman as the first prime minister of malaysia When he's shouted MERDEKA with is mean independence 7 times with his hands up Sorry if my English suck ☺️
That Jeddah Tower project, with its 1km tower supposedly anchoring a whole new city precinct full of attractions, looks to be going nowhere fast as of this writing. It's not only in an unappealing, unremarkable spot whose only attraction is the fact it's by the sea, but Dubai stands ready to throw up the Dubai Creek Tower if Arabia builds theirs, just to recapture their "tallest building in the world" title. So both projects sit in a Mexican standoff, waiting for the other to make a move. I think Dubai will feel compelled to stay ahead and Saudi Arabia knows this too.
USA: Puts Man on Moon looking DOWN on Earth Other nations: Lets build tall buildings
It would be fairer if they measured the height from the roof and not count the spires!! Apart from this, my favorite skyscraper is the Shanghai Bottle Opener❤️❤️, it’s always fascinated me, I was going to go to Shanghai in February but ... you know the story.
I've been to the observation decks in the Bottle Opener & the Shanghai Tower. Although the Tower looks an insane amount higher there's only about 60m difference in the observation decks & the windows of the Bottle Opener's glass was much cleaner!
Malaysia have more in progress tallest then merdeka 118 tower u should know that
Taklah... Ada lagi tinggi daripada itu tapi saya rasa ketinggian 700m... Lagi 10tahun baru siap bangunan....

Imagine how many poop trucks would you need to take out all the poop from the tallest buildings.
"Dubai Creek tower" will be the world's tallest tower with the height of 1km 300+m.Its under construction.

What about Arab in Iraq 😡
I'm missing the Twin Towers of New York. I really thought that they would have been replaced by having two Towers at 1776ft without using antennas to get the height.
The tower we have doesn't need an antenna to get its hight.
I am missing Twin Towers as well. The city sky line is not the same and worse without them.
Don’t worry u guys u still have the petronas twins towers visit my country Malaysia I promise it will be best
@@TroyQwert What a blatant tragedy that was so mf- avoidable, but Republican ignorance let it slip by.
It's been 20 years people, way past the time to let go.
I always have this crazy thought since I was little, that If I were in the highest park of the skyscraper, it will collapse.

Wow 7 buildings in this list are all from China.respect👏🇨🇳
They should be spending the money on their own people, and improving their lives. Not competing to have the world's tallest skyscraper. It's crazy, and also meaningless.
they have banned megatalls and supertalls are very difficult to build due to law. They say skyscrapers do not reflect chinese characteristics
@Chunjen Hsu i hope u are joking
@@robtyman4281 You would be glad to hear that the chinese government recently put restrictions on buildings over 200m and banned buildings over 500m altogether.
@Vincent Vermeer well say bro
I see cutting edge technology being used here. Often times that means for a lot of unforeseen issues. Sometimes those problems aren’t caught in time to prevent catastrophe. All very impressive buildings, but the last three scare me.
I'm not playing around with a tower that has to rotate itself to stabilize
Yo your videos are so cool and I watch all your videos
So
♥️i love your videos.
Incredible these global wonders are. I remember watching my own downtown go from a few towers to dozens of skyscrapers with the tallest being 300m+. For my mid-sized city to achieve all this in 20 short years was something to see. Jersey City,NJ.
that isnt an achievement.
@@noitallmanaz it's more of an achievement than gaining 3 subs in 11 years 😂
is no who going to talk about the fact that the CN tower isn't on the list?
Exactly what I'm saying
it's a tower, categorized differently from buildings, meaning they have lower than 50% occupiable height
It never got any respect when it was the tallest structure on the planet. Every list was named so that it was excluded.
Love seeing this
Great video. Really well made and visuals of the buildings are fantastic.
