Take THAT, Mohammed Atta!
(AP) - Construction crews finished building the world’s tallest skyscraper in Taiwan on Friday, shifting into place a massive pinnacle on top of 1,676-foot-tall building. The 101-story structure looks like a stack of gift boxes, but developers liken it to a bamboo shoot with notches sections. Called Taipei 101, the building will house offices, a mall and an observatory. Wearing a white hard hat, Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou and a small group of engineers, developers and officials watched the 198-foot pinnacle being installed from an observation deck on the 91st floor. |
