World's Tallest Free-Standing Broadcast Tower Completed

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-can-see-my-house-from-here dept.

dtmos writes "The world's tallest free-standing broadcast tower has been completed, in Tokyo (video). Rising to 634.0 metres (2,080 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in the world, after the Burj Khalifa. Completion was delayed two months due to the effects of the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami."
