The empire state building is the greatest man mad object in modern history

they took over ten years to replace the twin towers , this proves modern technology is a load of sh1t

...or that finding good help was easier back then...

There are lots of noteworthy facts about Dubai’s Burj Khalifa: it’s the tallest building in the world and the tallest free-standing structure in the world, and it contains an elevator that travels the longest distance in the world, to name a few. But despite all these impressive accomplishments, the Burj Khalifa has a major problem.



in Dubai they don't have, like, a sewage infrastructure to support high-rises like this one. So what do they do with the sewage?

KATE ASCHER: A variety of buildings there, some can access a municipal system but many of them actually use trucks to take the sewage out of individual buildings and then they wait on a queue to put it into a waste water treatment plant. So it's a fairly primitive system.
(a modern load of crap)

White men built it, and we paid properly for their labor.. Don't see many buildings like this in fucking Kenya, or the Congo.. The proof is everywhere.

the reality is modern architects have their head stuck up their arse

Burj Khalifa' tallest building seems impressive but if you want to live in a place that stinks of filth ,has constant electrical problems as well as wobbling like a jelly and have cracks in its structure even though its a new building go ahead and live in that sh1thole its your choice if you want to live in a pig stye

We also have to give credit to fearless native Americans who worked high above ground, without safety lanyards.

True

5 workers died in the construction of the empire state building ,given the safety standards I am amazed the number is so low

Architards

They built a new library in Birmingham UK a couple of years ago ,200 million pounds(not euros) they spent on it ...a right load of crap , ugly and vile

I went in their to get a book on the moors empire and they didn't have a single book on the subject ,pathetic

TRUE.

And nothing today, in the U.S. at least, could be built 400 plus days like that building was. It takes years, sometimes over a decade, to get a major building like that built today, due to all the endless reviews, required approvals,community meetings, etc. A current plan to build a 4-5 mile extension of a light rail transit line in Boston will cost an estimated 2 billion $, has been planned for many years, is estimated to take st least another 5 plus years to complete (if all the funding is secured), requires endless environmental approvals, state and federal regulations (good example is all construction must meet federal requirements for disabled access, which greatly increases costs for the construction of elaborate ramps and elevators for wheelchair access), etc. Compare this to the first subway in North America being built in Boston in the 1890s, opening in 1896, built in matter of a few years, with victorian era technology.

The Empire state building is the second most famous building in the USA second only to the white house..

There are taller buildings in America but they are no were near as famous ,something about the Empire state building is a bit special ,a time when America really was Great

good post

something is going wrong in modern society
