sss BREAKING NEWS
Nobody expected the tiny country in the heart of Europe to try and compete with either UAE or Kuwait, but it seems to just happen. I've had the opportunity to visit the construction site of the world tallest tower. In the suburb of Budapest the structure is already rising and currently at the height of 85m, and it won't stop before 999m ! The constructor company HUNGAAR is aiming to complete it just ten days sooner than the Burj. The company is very confident and they were not hesitating to publish the exact height, as they claim there is no real competition. On the other hand they would not release a render of the skyscraper, the design is a surprise.
Now let's see what i was able to catch with my camera:
