With a development value of over US$1 billion, Burj Dubai, when completed, will fulfil all the criteria of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), which ranks the worlds tallest buildings on the basis of spire height, the highest occupied floor, roof height and pinnacle height. At a current height of over 800 metres (2,625 ft), Burj Dubai has now also scaled over 160 levels, the most number of storeys in any building in the world. Burj Dubai has already surpassed the height of the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, USA - 628.8 metres (2,063 ft), which held the distinction of being the worlds tallest man-made structure. Burj Dubai is taller than Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which at 508 metres (1,667 ft) has held the tallest-building-in-the-world title since it opened in 2004.

May 20, 2012 - Well, you breathe normally untill some 2000m above the sea level. Then you feel that climbing is a little harder, but you can still climb and run as if you were "on the ground", if you are going higher it feels like if you were smoking or something and it gets harder with every 100m but in 4700m you still have no obvious problem if you don't climb. I was never higher, but I am not a skilled climber, just occasional, and I have climbed from 1500m to 2000m, 7km track in 1hour with no problem.

TheChannelViews Says:
May 23, 2012 - I read once from a source that you start to notice that it's a little harsher and more difficult to breath 10,000 ft and up. This video was shot 2,719 ft in the air. It varies by each individual. HOWEVER, it is indeed colder at the top. The temperature drops 3 degrees every 1,000 feet. I live in the Trump Tower (which is a 1,389 foot tower) and I can always tell a difference in climate change. We even sometimes have to call down to the lobby and ask what the weather is like.
