Anyone here ever been up in the Gateway Arch? Looking down out of those little windows and seeing absolutely nothing between me and the ground seriously freaked me out. And its only 630 feet tall! Some of these photos are crazy.

+1, though I've kinda gotten over my fear of heights but I can't even think about snakes without checking under my bed sheets or looking under my sofa thinking I heard something.

Yeah...it's tall and the first video made my toes curl a bit (very healthy fear of heights), but the only thing I can think of is just how STUPID Dubai is. You have the tallest ******* building in the world surrounded by....?????????? Sure the immediate area is more buildings/resorts, but look 2 seconds in either direction and you have NOTHING. It looks like a post apocalyptic wasteland out there.....no wonder that city is failing. BTW, these guys aren't so scared of heights...
