You gotta think that this sort of thing would never be approved for use in the U.S. Between the lawyers and the insurance companies, it'd never be approved. Some douchenozzle would chuck himself over the side either on purpose or on accident within a week.

That might hurt a little, but it certainly shouldn't be fatal. You'll have to zoom in:

350 euros is a tolerable starting price. Finally, something in Dubai I can afford.

I once paid $220 for a room in West Orange NJ (only available room I could find! pre-recession). It was nice, but it didnt have anything that cool.

I wonder how often they'll have to clean out puke. I'm guessing 2-3 times a week someone will get virtigo and ralph some undigested tuna sandwich into the pool.

I originally thought that the pool was 55 storeys deep. So, from the top of the building all the way down. Now I am dissapointed.

With that much water the pressures near the bottom would be imminence.
What could be used to hold it together?

I dunno, but it would be awesome to throw things down there.

If it were possible, you know how that there are those open sections of the building? Imagine those whole empty spaces being full of water, and see through. You could see people swimming around and stuff at the top, plus it would look cool as hell. Maintenance, risks, materials, etc would be ridiculous though.

No way am I getting in that pool! I have enough difficulty getting close to the edge of buildings where it doesn't look like I might fall off!

Awesome view, though!
