The Mile High Tower

The Mile High Tower which will be built in Jeddah claims that it will be the first building to be one mile high, but it also states that it will be 1600 meters tall. A mile which is 5,280 feet is 1609.344 meters. Why don’t they build the building just a couple of meters taller so that it will actually get the title of the first one mile high building on the planet?

Answer #1

What are you talking about, there are no mile high buildings in colorado. The tallest building except for the Burj Dubai is the Taipei 101 at a mere 509 meters located in Taiwan. The tallest Freestanding structure is in Toronto Canada, called the CN Tower at a mere 533.5 meters. The tallest manmade strucutre of all time is the KTVL Mast in North Dakota at 628 meters. You must be dillusional! A mile is 5,280 feet or 1609.344 meters! Colorado doesn’t even have skyscrapers. It’s a hillbilly state!
