    Fun fact: Buildings at Disney World tend to stay under 200 feet tall, because any buildings over 200 feet are legally required to have a airplane blinker, even though all of the Disney property is a no-fly zone, and the blinking red light would be able to be spotted very easily at night. Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is the tallest building in all of the parks at a height of 199.5 feet, with the Tower of Terror being just shy at 199 feet and 1 inch.

      I think the idea was that they would be built in Tokyo bay or in the sea. There’s no land left but there is water. Obviously those buildings are never going to get built though, they are far from realistic. There are a lot of oversights in the ideas.

    Mecca is the holiest city in Islam. It is the city Muslims make a pilgrimage too for hajj. Because of this, only Muslims are allowed in the city. The city even has a high-speed rail station where you can take Spanish-built rolling stock from Jeddah and Medina (another holy city) to accommodate the crowds, plus a metro system that only runs for one week every year for hajj.

    The Shard isn't the third tallest in Europe. Four skyscrapers in Moscow are taller than the Shard (Mercury City Tower, Neva Tower 2, OKO: South Tower, and Federation: East Tower), as well one in Warsaw called the Varso. But the tallest out of all in Europe is the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg as shown here.
    Yup, NYC has more impressive skyscrapers than you think. The Chrysler Building was once the world's tallest building as well, but that only lasted not even a full year from May 27, 1930 to May 1, 1931 when the Empire State Building opened (which in turn was surpassed by the WTC North Tower in 1970). NYC doesn't mess around, though they have become more generic as of late like the Central Park Tower at 1:46

    As of 2023, The Leonardo won't be the tallest in Africa. Both Egypt and Morocco are set to topple it with the Iconic Tower at 385.5 m and the Mohammed VI Tower at 250 m respectively. Egypt's tower is located in the New Administrative Capital, a completely ridiculously planned city that their government has built. Which also includes the world's tallest flagpole.

    I live in Hong Kong and we have 3 buildings taller than the Bank of China Tower. We have Central Plaza at 373.9m tall, the International Finance Centre (IFC) at 412m, and the International Commerce Centre (ICC) at 484m tall. So I'm confused why the Bank of China Tower is on the list but none of the others are, especially the ICC. Love your videos btw Jack, this channel is always so fascinating to watch and learn from.
