Not a "classical" skyscraper, but however 160 meters tall. This is the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, located at NASA's Kennedy space center, Florida. It is the third building in the world by volume, scoring 3.66 million of cubic meters; it was used by NASA to assembly the giant Saturn V rocket, an now is used to integrate the Space Shuttle.

There aren't many big-city lights in Pyongyang but the city has amazingly lots of skyscrapers. And pray to the Great Leader Kim Jong-il for a mere five minutes of an uninterrupted flow of electricity when entering the escalator.

The Petronas towers and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel:


Here they look both quit tall but the Petronas Towers on the left are 88 floors, whereas the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is "just" 26 floors.

The pic was taken in front of the Mandarin, which might explain this.

It's seldom viewed from this angle where we can't see the hole.

Quote Mick Flynn:

I can't remember what they call this building, but it's across from Battery Park on the Jersey shore.

Mick,

I live across the river from that building , I affectionately call it the Stump, because it doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities other than its stumpiness.

Quote Adrian_NYC:

This is '30 Hudson Street' in Jersey City also known as the 'Goldman Sachs Tower'.
