Two Guys Jumped Off the Burj Dubai and Lived to Tell About It [Insanity]
Gizmodo —
... Oh, wow. Apparently, in May, a Brit and a Frenchman snuck on to the under-construction Burj Dubai and BASE jumped from it at 650 meters up. Now, there's video available of their infiltration, jump and subsequent escape. The footage from up top and the jump is just incredible stuff. I wish I had the cajones to do something like this. Although my favorite part of the video may be the footnote at the end; wait for it, it's worth it. [Current via Neatorama]

Two men jumped from the world's tallest building and got it all on film
DVICE Atom Feed —
... sneaked into the Burj Dubai — currently the tallest building in the world even though it's not finished yet — and set the world base jumping record (illegally). The footage of the jump from the top is worth a watch by itself, but the story of the pair's experience makes it even better. It's the kind of stunt reminiscent of , who infiltrated New York City's World Trade Center towers so he could walk on a rope between the two.

Video: BASE Jumping the Burj Dubai
The UberReview —
... up flight after flight of stairs in Dubai (a city not known for its tolerance of criminal activity), to perform the very first and possibly last BASE jump from the Burj Dubai - and they were kind enough to capture their escapades on film. We hope that they are safely out of Dubai now, lest they feel the strong arm of Emirati law.
Seriously, ask me sometime about my friend who taught English to a class of policemen in Dubai. It would make anyone think twice. [Current via Neatorama, Gizmodo, DVICE]
