Heartbroken woman leaps to her death from the 148th floor of the Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building - after relationship turns sour | Daily Mail Online

I was about to put the same story on here!

He is very god at keeping his name out of the papers (and his wife/ joe public not finding out)

Re: Burj suicide
 

He? Who?

Hadn't heard about this incident but it had to happen sooner or later

The gentleman that she was sleeping with.

Gulfnews says it was at JLT. Either way quite tragic :(

No suicide at Burj Khalifa, say Dubai Police | GulfNews.com

I have read the story but it doesn't quite add up.

Can an adult actually fit through the gap on the viewing platform?

One article claims she landed on the terrace of a crowded restaurant. If it was witnessed by so many people it is not odd that nothing has slipped out about it. Even if the man who was seeing has a lot of wasta.


I am not claiming it didn't happen but it's just a bit odd.

not forgetting the shape of the burj means that if you jumped on at the 140th floor, you'd probably land on the 100th and not the 3rd. Much like the laborer that landed on the 120th ish.

Given that the tower is filmed all day long by someone, I'm sure a quick bit of you-tube research could find something interesting, if there was anything to be found.

The Daily Mail detests Dubai, Qatar and everything connected therewith. How they can publish such fictional nonsense amazes me. Emaar should sue.

i thought that was you?

Re: Burj suicide
 

The Mail hates everything and everyone.

Nastiest and bitchiest newspaper ever.

It loves Meagan Trainor... and cancer

Re: Burj suicide
 

Why does the Daily Mail hate Dubai ? Is the Emirate not sufficiently pro-Zionist ?

Re: Burj suicide
 

Indeed, very strange.

Nothing from her family?

Re: Burj suicide
 

The Mail just goes for the juiciest slant on news to reel in people. I don't see them as particularly against the GCC.

Wow ... that is quite a distance. Can you imagine how long you'd be in the air before hitting ground?
