    I felt like it took some balls just to watch this.

    I have nightmares that are similar to this. I would do it if I had to, otherwise, no thanks.

    No . . . I cannot imagine someone working up there to build it.

    My hands and feet got sweaty just watching that. I wonder how many workers have died building that tower... and how long it takes them to hit the ground when they fall.

    I still don't understand this phenomenon of building super high skyscrapers that won't even get filled.

    That was incredible. Those guys are made of something else. The Burj Khalifa is taller than this building. I wonder if anyone climbed to the top of it as well.

    It's only a matter of time until these guys mess up. I'm waiting for that video but here is a close one.
