The Petronas Twin Towers can no longer lay claim to the title world's tallest building, as, according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_world" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> they were topped first by Taipei 101 in Taiwan in 2004, which is now the world's tallest completed skyscraper at 509 metres (the Petronas Twin Towers soared to an almost-as-impressive 452 metres). Both are due to be eclipsed by Burj Dubai, however, which is yet to be finished, but was measured at 688 metres on September 1 2008. Its final height is a closely-guarded secret, but it thought to be at least a staggering 818 metres. Sorry for the mistake - now corrected in the text!
