This is the sort of story journalists can't resist because it is so easy to work heavy symbolism into it: the Burj Khalifa (ex-Burj Dubai) has been closed to the public only a month after opening. Something about unexpectedly high traffic (though I believe only the observation level was open so far, since no tenants have moved in). And electrical problems.As a symbol of Dubai's troubles, the story writes itself. Let's count how many times "Tower of Babel" gets mentioned in editorials.
