@@bigfoot1861 true, counting the platforms that floats on water as tallest will be the same as a helium balloon "floating" on air held by a string on earth... does not count! (different category)

The problem with the Magnolia oil platform is not the word "height", it's the word "structure". The oil rig floats and the cables keep it tethered in place. It's the same principle as an anchored ship or a tethered balloon. With that in mind, according to Wikipedia the Tethered Aerostat Radar System can rise up to an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m) while tethered to the Earth making it by your logic, the tallest 'structure' I could find.

Radio technicians call this type of antenna a "half-wave mast radiator". It resonates electromagnetically with the transmitted frequency corresponding to a wavelength equal to twice the height of the antenna. A half-wave mast radiator is significantly more effective than a quarter-wave mast radiator which is another type of antenna often used in AM broadcasting.

I still think “buildings” should be measured to to highest occupied floor. Complete with elevator, bathroom, office/ housing. Masts, spires, antenna’s just seem like a cheat.

The first real issue is the definition of the word 'surface'. I imagine most people consider the ground that we stand on as a surface and sea level as the base point. Again, no one would expect any land above sea level to be added to the 'man-made' structure height, but most would think of anything in the ocean as being 'under' the surface and hence not qualify. Furthermore, the category is usually qualified as 'free-standing'. Being held up by water immediately disqualifies the constructions mentioned.

I mean at this point someone has to anchor a large floating foundation for a Skyscraper to the ocean floor. As Sea levels rise, the structure gains in height. Up to at maximum +69 Meters. And once we get a space elevator its basicaly over, just extend a cable beyond the asteroid being held in place by the tether for even longer reach "Upwards" for some form of extremely powerful catapult thingy.

Not only the Analemma tower would be founded as the "world's tallest building" but also be crowned "world's biggest flying structure"

1) The limit to how far down we can build in the ocean is pressure. Otherwise it is only as far down as the lowest we can go. 2) The limit to how high we can build is structure strength and variable points, which would make the structure not move at the same speed as the earth causing it to warp/bend. Other than that, we can build pretty high.

The Warsaw Radio Mast was such a phenomenal piece of engineering... Too bad awful maintenance ruined such a magnificent feat.

Wait a minute! Like Guiness says: a structure extends upwards from the Earth's surface. But that "building" that's "suspended" from an orbiting asteroid and "floating" above. Will not be the tallest structure on Earth. First it's not "on" Earth, second it's floating above Earth and 3rd it's "suspended from an asteroid.

The CN Tower was once classified as the World's Tallest Freestanding Structure on Land.

The video, from a channel called "Debunked", starts off by saying the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb of a Pharoah, despite the fact there has never been any tomb of a Pharoah found in the pyramid. Ironic??

You ignored the CN Tower in Toronto, which held the record of the world's tallest free standing structure from 1975 until 2007. It remains the tallest free standing structure in the western hemisphere. It stands 553.3 meters or 1,815.3 feet tall.

So folks, if you look in the pinned comment you’ll see why the ever popular CN Tower ISNT in the video. The Warsaw Radio Mast was the tallest structure in the world already and the CN Tower didn’t break the record when it was built as the mast was still standing at the time. BUT HE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE IT! He even mentions that he’s been there, as have I. That’s actually the tallest structure I’ve visited in person.

Without a working vegetation system, the tower would have to hang lower than mount Kilimanjaro for life support and the top being an antenna for broadcasting. Until you leave the atmosphere it would be gravity. In space its free game. You would still be close enough to feel the pull so needs testing.

Yeah, I call BS on the guinness books inclusion of floating platforms. Tallest man-made structure should only rank structures by their vertical distance from their supportive medium. Oil platforms and other such floating structures are anchored, not supported.
