The Empire State Building - located in the heart of New York. The mother of all skyscrapers and symbol of the American dream. With an incredible height of four hundred and forty-three metres to the top it held the title of the tallest building in the world for more than forty years! Constructed with more than seven hundred thirty tons of steel and aluminium and ten million bricks. A unique workplace designed for over twenty thousand people and a true legend. But what happens when this legend meets a modern-day icon?
The Empire State Building faces the Burj Khalifa. The world’s tallest skyscraper and the tallest building on earth. At eight hundred and twenty-eight metres, the building breaks every record - by a huge margin. The iconic building in Dubai literally scrapes the skies. Built using over three hundred and thirty thousand cubic metres of concrete and one hundred and three thousand square metres of glass. The Burj Khalifa is more like a vertical city, than just a skyscraper. A contest of superlatives - Empire State Building versus Burj Khalifa! Two opponents. Three categories. And lots of surprises. Which skyscraper has revolutionised engineering? Which mega building offers the most technical innovation? And which skyscraper will stand for eternity?
In LEGENDS VS MODERN ICONS, the world’s latest engineering achievements, high-tech vehicles and superlative constructions compete against their legendary equivalents that are world famous and milestones in their own field. Can a modern luxury cruise ship outperform the famous Titanic? Is Wembley Stadium superior to the Colosseum? Each episode showcases one battle between a legend and its iconic modern equivalent.

Who ever were involved in the construction of EMPIRE BUILDING, i salute you from the bottom of my heart. Your fearlessness and confidence is commendable❤

I am utterly fascinated by the Empire State Building-an absolute icon. During my recent visit to New York City, the pinnacle of my experience was undoubtedly the Empire State Building. From every street corner, its majestic presence captivated me, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away. I explored four observation decks: The Edge, One World Trade Center, Summit Vanderbilt, and the 86th and 102nd floors of the Empire State Building. Each vantage point offered a unique perspective, but it was when I stood atop the Empire State Building that I truly appreciated its magnificence up close. Another iconic building in NYC is the Chrysler Building, and I can only hope to see its interior someday. Burj Khalifa is modern and shiny, but my heart belongs to Empire State Building

The burj is a cool design and obviously super tall but being a Boston guy with relatives in NY the Empire state bldg will always be The skyscraper, ever since I saw it in person as a 1960's kid.

@GIXXER913 Год назад

But the burj needs trucks to empty it’s septic tanks regularly. The Empire State doesn’t.

@brawnbenson552 Год назад

How in the world do you build a flagship skyscraper and not have a built in proper plumbing system? So embarrassing!

@poobahs760 Год назад

This is not mentioned enough. I don’t know why shows fail to mention this, also the fact the source of labor, and their treatment. Humans treated like sewage, sewage getting ‘special’ treatment.

@sonthems45229 Год назад

This Arab countries r doing whatever they want n our leaders r not doing anything cos apparently they r BLACK GOLD PRODUCERS. From human rights issue, to their bizzare religious laws..... Phew

13 months? Considering foundation and all, that’s like a floor every couple of days… so impressive

@NoahMizrahi 5 месяцев назад

100 years later the rest of the world is catching up with the empire state bldg, and making them taller (took enough time)

@pattaccone5347 7 месяцев назад

If your building needs trucks to remove sewage , the other one wins every time!

@javedsmith8515 Год назад

Nice

@bullzdawguk Год назад

Perhaps if the Burj Khalifa's was hooked up to citywide waste disposal system it would be impressive. The fact is, the Burj literally transports its sewage daily in convoys of lorries, who transport it to a waste processing facility. That's a grossly antiquated and inefficient system. Dubai has little to no infrastructure whatsoever.

@SO-ud6ro 8 месяцев назад

Its taller two empire's stacked. That's quite impressive

@bullzdawguk 8 месяцев назад

@@SO-ud6ro Yes, its size is impressive. However, a modern waste disposal and sewerage system linked to a mains would be more impressive, especially considering it's a 21st century structure and holds such a prestigious image. Instead, it relies on an archaic, grossly outdated, not to mention, not very environmentally friendly system. I do not consider that impressive, more so since the ESB has a modern sewage system.

@SO-ud6ro 8 месяцев назад

@bullzdawguk if I'm not mistaken they scrapped that plan after the 08 market collapse. It became too expensive for them.

@bullzdawguk 8 месяцев назад

@@SO-ud6ro I'm not certain of the date. No doubt, you're correct. No matter the date, the fact remains, they scrapped the plan, which is preposterous. From what I know, any infrastructure in that part of the world is paid for by the developer, and not the government, which is also an archaic approach to city planning. In fact, Dubai generally has approached city planning similar to Detroit, which relied mostly on cars to get from one place to another. This was due to areas being cut off from one another and very little attention paid to public transport. In recent years, Dubai has tried to introduce more public transportation. But, looking at some of them, I wonder if it's too little, too late. If you ask me, the true test of a modern city is the standard of its infrastructure. Without it, a city is a shell. And, in many ways, that's how I see Dubai. It's all glitzy and pretty on the outside, but on the inside, it's hollow.
