The CN Tower in Toronto

Incorect, The Gueness Book of World Records says the tallest structure in the world is a TV tower near Fargo.

Ehh, no. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...recordid=49675

There is still some argument over that however, there are self-supported oil rigs that stand higher when measured from the bottom of the structure on the sea floor.

this question said "on land"

Thats the talest BUILDING, a TV tower isn't a building.

It's right here in my Guiness records book

"The tallest structure still standing is a stayed television transmiting tower, between Fargo and Blanchard North Dakota, which is 2,063ft (629m) tall."

PWNED!

[Zoid]

No, the crucial word here is "stayed" ie not self supported. Seems like the pwnage is on the other foot now

[Odin]

You break my heart Zoidberg.

[Zoid]

Sorry...

OP??

Opening Post.

Wait...how does one define "operational" for the jet-powered fighter question?

[Zoid]

Mao, that it was made in more than a few test models. Although the Heinkel He 178 was the first ever jet plane (1939), it was only an experimental prototype. The Gloster Meteor entered service at the same time as the ME 262, but was beaten by a few weeks.
