00:00The Burj Khalifa stands in the crosshairs
00:02of violent, howling, high-altitude desert gales right now.
00:06Standing 828 meters high,
00:09how does this massive glass monolith
00:12survive tearing air pressures?
00:14Normal flat buildings catch the wind and snap,
00:17but this tower uses an impossible geometry
00:20that fools the storm completely.
00:22Stepped spiral setbacks break wind currents
00:25into random directions so destructive pressure rings
00:28never form around the steel frame.
00:29This clever shape tricks the air currents,
00:33proving the Burj Khalifa stands in the crosshairs
