Kingdom Tower in Jeddah

[Annella]

Have you heard or seen pictures of the new Kingdom Tower going to be built in Jeddah? The pictures of the proposed behemoth are phenomenal. They at first wanted it to be a mile high, but the ground wouldn't support that. It's going to be 3,281 feet high, with a hugh observation deck jutting out from the 157th floor. It's going to be a part of other structures being built called the Kingdom City. It will take 20 billion to build the tower alone. This is being built as a center for Islam/Muslims as the doorway to Mecca.

We have all helped pay for this with oil dollars. What they need is a fountain right in the middle of the front plaza, spewing oil 20 feet into the air. I wonder if it will be mostly empty like the white elephant that was built in Dubai on the coast. The only good thing about it is that a Chicago based firm got the bid to draw up the plans. Too bad American steel won't go into it.

Don't you find it ironic that they have built more and more high buildings after our 9/11?
