The world's tallest current and future skyscrapers.I've been a fan of buildings since my earliest years and always had books about the tallest of the tall and legos to give it a shot myself.I have been a bit out of the loop, but with recent "supertalls" popping up everywhere, i decided to get back into it and compile a video about them.Note: Spires count, Antennas do not. Future buildings are only included, if groundbreaking has occurred. The Abraj Al Bait Towers are just too odd to get a spot in this, maybe later when the final shape emerges :)Sorry for the occasionally jerky motion, but YT converted the video down from 30 to 25fps which probably causes juddering.Musical Tracks:Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr. LawrenceSebastian Spanache aka "Cdnalsi" - Queen of Goth'arde Part 1 (Prelude)Moby - NovioAir - RunA. R. Rahman - Mumbai Theme TuneEnjoy! Comments appreciated.

Dec 5, 2008 - I'm not aware that it is going to be much taller than ~1000ft. I have to draw a line somewhere to fit the tallest into YouTube's 10 minute limit.

Dec 5, 2008 - The Freedom Tower is actually gonna be 1776 ft tall, to represent the year The Declaration of Independence was signed.
HiAdrian Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Yup, this was already pointed out to me. The video was meter based. My updated version is nearly done and will be feet based to be accurate.

Dec 5, 2008 - I really wanna see Russia Tower, it's allready under construction.
HiAdrian Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Sadly they've put it on hold due to the global economic crisis. Same with the Chicago Spire.The Federation Tower right in front of it is progressing fast though.
ravenssx Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Yeah, they said it's temporary measure.
