World Record
[edit]I know the record is real, but Guinness has clearly not done their fact checking. The world's tallest inclined structure, the Tour de Montreal stands 175m and is inclined 45 degrees, much more that the 18 degree lean in Abu Dhabi. The article implies, thanks to the flawed Guinness record, that the Capital Gate is the most inclined in the world. Source: http://www.rio.gouv.qc.ca/pub/visiter/accueil.jsp?locale=en#5
Also the record also improperly identifies the structure as "leaning", when it is actually "inclined" as the floors are parallel to the ground. I'm not an architect, so I can't verify these terms but that's how I've always heard them defined. 74.57.177.192 (talk) 17:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
