Dubai is nothing but skyscrapers. Heard nobody was injured at all. :) Also heard that in this residential building starting price for a 2 bedroom apartment is $500k/ÂŁ325K. We often chat with flight attendants on Emirates flights (based in Dubai) and they say it's a requirement that they live in Dubai. They must be very well paid.

I lived on the 14th floor in my apartment in TN and we often had fire drills in the middle of the night. We'd all walk down and the wait for the elevators on the way back up took so long that many of us just walked back up.
