Alain Robert climbs world's tallest tower with bare hands
Alain Robert climbed the worlds tallest tower on Sunday with just his bare hands, according to a report from the UKs The Sun. The self-nicknamed French Spiderman conquered winds and climbed without a safety net to reach the top of Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Dubai opened the world's tallest skyscraper Monday, and in a surprise move renamed the gleaming glass-and-metal tower Burj Khalifa in a nod to the leader of neighboring Abu Dhabi -- the oil-rich sheikdom which came to its rescue during the financial meltdown.
