Taiwan aims high to build world's tallest tower They don't come any bigger or stronger than Taipei 101 - the world's tallest building, which is reportedly being built to such strict structural standards that it may even be able to withstand a 9/11-like strike by a jumbo jet. Engineers in Taipei are putting the finishing touches to the 508 metre (1,667ft) tower, being constructed as a symbol of the resurgent identity of Taiwan. When it opens at the end of this year or early next, its 101 floors and tall telecommunications antenna will take it past the 452 metre twin Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur as the world tallest building. It will also have the world's fastest lifts, taking passengers from the ground to the top floor in 39 seconds - at a stomach churning 40mph. u betta not take lunch before u intend to travel in those lifts:P Some images of this amazingly massive structure Pics and Stats # posted by masquerader @ 18:08 ::
