Old news... THis was announced over a year ago was it not?

Dubai is always doing new things.

i thought the freedom tower was going to be the tallest... well it will be the tallest tower in the U.S.

btw did anyone else see the Dubai special on 20/20?
It was about the workers and the hidden deceit behind all the grandeur to Dubai great ammenites. some of the workers that are constructing the burj tower and other buildings are getting a salary of less than 100 dollars... and live in small housing with other workers. i'll see if i can get a link to support my claim (20/20's claim)
