Yesterday I was shocked by new Guinnes World Record for the free fall from the Tallest Building in the world. This record have been achieved by Fred Furgen and Vince Reffet. I admired their achievement but I am more amazed again with the human achievement to build the tallest building in the world. Burj Khalifa or known Burj Dubai, this building is 829.8 m (2,722 ft) in height. What is this number mean? If you want to know the meaning of 829.8 m, i will show you the comparison of the tallest building in the world with Monas (Monumen Nasional) in Indonesia. Maybe you know the Monas because you have visited Indonesia or you just know from the news or read the encyclopedia.
The height of Monas is about 150 m. So if you put monas one by one to the top of the sky, you need 6 monas to beyond the top of Burj Dubai. Can you imagine that? Even its too high for monas to reach the top of Burj Dubai. I think, when i visited the monas for the first time. This building (Monas) is very high. Apparently, It's not fair if we compare monas with the Burj Dubai. But It is a fact that Burj of Dubai is the tallest building in the world.
