Burj Dubai July 17th 2008 photo update, This is the setback side for tier 20 it faces 120 degrees (faces that crane). The taller column in question is the middle column for the smaller wing that continues up facing the same direction. It just looks taller but we are seeing it from just above the setback up past the top of tier 20 section 1 continuing up to the top of section 2.

Here is a shot by Imre showing the column I am refering to for tier 19 facing North.
