World’s tallest tower closed a month after opening, predictably

dubai, united arab emirates– the 2,717 foot burj dubai (the worlds tallest man-made structure ever built) was unexpectedly closed for public use this past sunday for unknown reasons.  the closing comes at the worst possible time for a sheikdom attempting to increase its tourism revenue to help repay over 20 billion in international debt.  the persian gulf city-state has predictably been extremely secretive about the need to shut down public use of the 1.5 billion dollar (approx. 4 billion dirham) leviathan.  looks like dubai will once more be plunged into a hole of embarrassment and serious debt.  this looks like the biggest planning blunder since Disney World Southern Rhodesia.  i can hear “Bassbor Al Fourgakom” being played on the worlds smallest violin right now
