That guy speaking seems to think the burj khalifa is twice as tall as it is.

Or three times as much.

800m = Exactly half a mile.

I'm guessing you mean because they were not at the top? I did consider trying to work it out by watching the video again to see how far up the stunts were being done, but couldn't be bothered.

I meant the tower is exactly half a mile high and he said he was a mile and a half high. If he was further down, say 3/4 of the way up that would mean he would be saying the tower is 4 times as high as it is. Lets just hope it was a figure of speech or something. xD

I would say they were 3/4 of the way up the tower, it was getting pretty narrow.

Maybe I should have watched it again, I thought he said a mile high.

NM.

Has anyone seen the videos of guys base jumping off it?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
