And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

That's Kingdom Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There's a story that part of the original plan for the building's opening was for a Bae Hawk from the Saudi Falcons, the Royal Saudi Air Force's aerobatics team, to "thread the needle". But the tower opened late in early 2022 and, given the events of the previous September, plans to "thread the needle" were dropped.
