It appears that as long as humans insist on constructing gigantic buildings, other, less smart humans will continue to climb and jump off them. Such was the case late last month when a Brit and a Frenchman (an unlikely alliance if ever there was one) managed to sneak to the top of the world’s tallest building in (currently under construction), the BURJ DUBAI and jump off its top floor at 650 meters (2,132 feet). They lived, but honestly, we’re not sure what the bigger risk was, jumping the building or going to jail in the United Arab Emirates…

Dubai is one of the seven Emirates and the most popular of the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. It is located along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula. Within the last 5 years it's transformed into one of the worlds most elaborate and beautifully modern cities.
