You are travelling up the world’s tallest building…and the lift starts to freefall

For anyone like me with an irrational fear of elevators this would have to be one of your worst nightmares. The worlds tallest tower, the half-mile high Burj Khalifa in Dubai boasts a lift which takes you to the observation deck for stunning views that will both take your breath away and stop your heart as well. I don’t think there is any amount of money I would take to set one foot inside that lift…

At 124 floors up from the ground the lift malfunctioned, the lights went out and it started to fall – they had to rescue the occupants by getting a ladder to them though the shaft. I’ll bet they all needed clean underwear afterwards…
