World’s Tallest Building Comparison

I just want to share a image of World’s tallest building comparison. This image is taken from burj dubai website (burjdubai.com). It is comparison of five skyscraper structures : Burj Dubai, Taipei 101, Petronas tower, Sears Tower and Jin Mao Tower.

I was really amazed on how this buildings are made. I can still remember when someone told me about Petronas Tower few years ago, I cannot believe a building with hundred stories. At that time, I guess the tallest building I saw is Marco Polo Hotel in Davao city which has 19 stories- not sure about his though.
