"Where are the other five? (inventions)" Well, he left out these likely candidates: Steel framework with a curtain wall facade- eliminating massive foundations and 10 foot thick brick walls at the ground floor. Electricity- early elevators ran on steam, engines- limited in many way. Bessemer's invention with processing steel which made steel structures cheap and mass produceable. Lastly, I would add steel piles and pile drivers to drive them to bedrock for foundations.

Every time a new highest skyscraper has been built since the 1900's, there followed a world-wide economic recession.

The narrator is wrong. Burj Dubai is estimated to be 800 meters. He said it is nearly half a kilometer tall(near 500m).
