If you free fell from the top, it would take you almost 15 seconds (give or take) to hit the ground.
Now go on about your day while trying not to think about it!

Tallest building I have been in was one of the World Trade Center towers. I was 15 and the observation floor was on the 107th floor. When I walked up to one of the floor to ceiling windows to look down my knees buckled.

I won't have to think about that, because there aren't enough bad asses in the world to haul me up to the top of that thing while I am still conscious. Anything over the third floor gets me nervous.
1BigTigerFan is roughly in my weight and size class so he might be able to get me twenty stories up before someone dies.

Gone to the top of the Rock in NY. Do not care to go any higher.

Flying doesn’t both me in the least. Can’t do tall buildings or towers. Weird.

Mannn then you'd REALLY love the rotating platform that is Seattle's Space Needle.. constantly moving with big windows under your feet that gets you all types of puckered

Exactly.

The scenes from the MI movie filmed there were cool.

Craziest thing about Dubai isn't the buildings imo, it's the weather. Heat indexes >140f, dew points in the 90s. Just punishing.
For reference the deep south tops out around 80F dew point

I went in June of 2001 to the top of the building where you could walk around. Went back to New York Summer of 2019, the memorial is moving.

Yes, but much like me he is a big, brown, wrinkly a-hole. He's not a petite a-hole. He's the full a-hole.
I admire that about the man.
