You wouldn't get me up there. I get dizzy on a thick carpet, but I'm just a wimp. Strange though that I don't mind flying !
It's unnerving when looking down. More so when your on the outside deck and you can feel it swaying
I bet the window cleaner isn't too happy either
They were cleaning windows on one of the lower floors as we arrived. Apparently it takes 3 months to do them all and then they start again.
And they don't use platforms - just dangle from a rope!

I was working out there during part of the build phase. As each week passed you'd think it couldn't possibly get any higher then they would go and bung another 20 foot on top. Incredible building.
Mate of mine has an office in Dubai and there was a new scraper being built opposite.
He said every day a workman would fall off.....

Wow, about 1800' then. Higher than most of the launches we got when I used to fly a glider
