The Burj Khalifa

It's only befitting to add a video of Spiderman (Alain Robert) scaling this building.

Alain, explains towards the end, he used a safety rope on this climb, because there was sections that would have been impossible to climb without.

 

Thrilling stuff, Fast! :)
What amazing videos @FastTrax ! Thank you for all your work putting this together.

I still have more to watch but so far, I'm thrilled!

Always a pleasure. I think the bare feet at the top of the world (So to speak) picture is the ultimate macho statement of being a total bada**. I don't think even Travolta and Norris would go that far, lolol.
 
a feat of architecture, a status symbol for the nation-great
but not for me.(n)
I couldn't find out how far the building sways when windy.:unsure:
Maybe they don't have strong winds there?
My experience is limited to heights of 40 stories-when windy the bld would creak, moan sway a foot or so... 🙏
The sway is planned, still scary
 
I cannot see Tom Cruise actually flopping around on a structure that high, had to be a double-Yes? no?

jo you know me, I dig hard and I dig deep and it is a well documented fact that this adrenalin junkie a/k/a maniac actually demands that the production company be absolved of any and all responsibility in the event he doesn't survive his mind blowing stunts. Life and injury insurers don't like that. However that Chunnel scene where he's hanging onto a high speed train while a helicopter is shooting at him in a very narrow tunnel was an especially spectacular computer generated stunt. I guess the production company, his present insurance carrier and the British railway company gave Maverick a reality check about the fact that no helicopter was going to fit in a tunnel much less keep up with a high speed train which could result in a major disaster even for him. I'd be interesting if he asked the Navy if he could actually fly that Phantom.

I forget their names but they were real. Tigers pissing and crapping all over the Casino. They treated those mangy cats better then some parents treat their children.
