"The contruction of Burj Dubai has been halted as the base of the tower is not stable work will only resume after One year depending if the base is right"


:D


Funny How people believe in such rumours as if they were themselves there to witness it.

Two, obviously both construction related and unlikely to be true.

1, One of the head construction guys at the Burj Dubai allegedly said to a friend of mine: "As soon as that thing is opened I'm getting on a plane and never coming back."

2, All of the people in charge of the JBR project have been offered free apartments in the complex, all of them have turned it down because they don't want to be anywhere near the project when it finishes.
