Real Or Fake? Daredevil Russian Couple Appears At The Top Of ... (Hype.MY)

Whether you approve of their existence or not, the tallest buildings in the world are among the most iconic structures made by humankind.

The photos were reposted on Reddit, where netizens commented on how the images could be fake, as the couple failed to post them on their official social media accounts. Compared to the photos, the footage looks real – but again, there’s no way to actually confirm their authenticity. This couple, for instance, recently posted photos of themselves at the top of the Merdeka 118 – but netizens aren’t too sure about the authenticity of these images. Others said that the photos could have been photoshopped, as the Russians appear out of proportion. Ivan posted the photos on a website called Skyscrapercity – but netizens noticed something amiss. There will always be those who crave to climb and document themselves at the top of the tallest buildings in the world.
