So the Saudis are going to build the worlds tallest skyscraper, over a half-mile high. In the coastal city of Jeddah...which is on the Red Sea...which was formed by the Red Sea Rift...which is an active earthquake fault to this day. The Kingdom commissioned a study which concluded the northern and southern ends of the fault zone are active (there was a big quake at the north end in 95), but the central parts are relatively less so. Alrighty then, if the Kings royal toadies say its safe, then it must be safe. Ill never understand the human capacity for optimism over pragmatism. telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiarabia/10775194/Saudi-Arabia-to-begin-building-worlds-tallest-skyscraper.html
