Oklahoma to have tallest building in the western hemisphere

[bluemingidiot]

The height, 1907 feet, is a nod to 1907, the year the state of Oklahoma was admitted to the union, as One World Trade Center’s height is a reference to 1776, the year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The world’s tallest building, at 2,717 feet, is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Legends Tower is set to become the sixth tallest building in the world.

Wonder what it would be like to watch a tornado coming towards you in that building?  Maybe Oggie will give us a live (hopefully, but I wouldn't bet on it) report.

Just another target for a plane flying terrorist?

With all the fracking going on out there, what's the soil like to support that much weight?

Oklahoma should pass a law that all oil companies' executives must office in that building.

That's about as likely as the top executives with Union Carbide, etc., living near their production facilities like in Bhopal India...There's another similar situation, plant, topography, etc., in West Virginia. I think it's West Virginia.

There's a hog cafo about 3 miles southeast of us owned by our feed dealer as well as others, including a guy within sight of the facility. If the weather is right, we can smell it and you can rest assured I've ragged the feed dealer about it. He denies we can smell it. Sure. He's about 7 miles in the other direction.
