The Mirage

Things may be rough in Dubai these days with the collapse of the global economy and oil prices wildly fluctuating but work on the Burj Dubai is nearly complete. The tallest building in the world as reached it's final height, 2684 feet, and some crazy man has shot an amazing video from the very top.



Keep in mind that those surrounding buildings that the Burj dwarfs are *only* around 60-80 stories tall.

Even crazier than that is the following video shot by a French & British duo that of BASE jumpers. They bluffed their way onto the construction site and jumped off of the 160th floor of the building.
