Tallest Structure
KVLY-TV Mast (Fargo, ND) 629[m] or
2,063[ft]

Tallest Structure Debate
The current tallest structures do not support their own weight.
What about teathered balloons or aerostats?
How should we define the tallest structure?

CTBUH Tallest Building Categories
Height to the structural or architectural top (including spires and pinnacles, but not antennas, masts or flagpoles)
Height to the highest occupied floor Height to the top of the roof Height to the top of antenna

Petronius Platform
Deepwater oil platform operated by Chevron in the Gulf of Mexico. 610[m] or 2,001[ft]
The tower can deflect nearly 2% of its height whereas normal buildings are kept to .5%
.02 x 2,001 = 40.02[ft]!

Construction
No clear mathematical explanation for its unique and peculiar construction.
Was built “on-the-fly” in 29 sections.
