The National reports:

A man jumped to his death from the Burj Khalifa (Monday) in the first recorded suicide from the world’s tallest building.

The man, believed to be in his 30s and from India, jumped from an air vent and landed on the terrace of a lower floor…

Police said the dead man worked at a company inside the Burj and had recently had a request for a holiday turned down.

What do you guys think of this? Was the young man trying to make a statement? Did he succeed?
