Does anyone known if the Burj Dubai is still scheduled to be done by January of 2010?

Here's the most recent info I could find; "the supertall skyscraper in Dubai, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of Chicago, had been scheduled to open on Dec. 2. But its debut has been pushed back to January 4." Chicago Tribune

More slave labor? Dubai can rot.

Thanks for sharing the video Drew. It's amazing how relaxed they were the whole time. Tad, I'm aware of the labor practices over there,and I don't condone it. However, I can still appreciate this as the engineering & architectural milestone it is. After all, it's more than twice the height of the Empire State Building!

Thanks everyone. As a final note, if you want to see something which demonstrates how tall this building is; then take a look at the most recent photos. The link is on the upper left-hand side of the page. Often a photographer can get away with taking a picture when their camera isn’t perfectly level, but this building is so tall (usually stretching from one end of the frame to the other), that if the camera is even slightly off its level, then it is very noticeable in the picture. There are endless examples of this on the most recent pictures page. Some of them make it look like the successor to the leaning tower of Pisa.
