World's tallest tower closed indefinitely a month after opening Though another source says the observation deck may be open again as soon as this weekend.
There's some excellent hyperbolic sleight-of-hand in that SMH headline.

I want to hear more about when more of the building will be open than just the lobby and observation deck. I didn't realize that's all that's opened so far.

Visitors on the observation deck of the world's tallest tower heard what sounded like a small explosion, then saw dust that looked like smoke seeping through a crack in an elevator door 124 floors above the ground. The 15 people inside were trapped for 45 frightening minutes until rescuers managed to pry open the doors.

To quote The Big Sleep: You could scare off a lot of trade with that.
