morons built it on a landfill, if a good earthquake happens, by by tower..
All the buildings further out than, I think, Market and Montgomery are built on landfill. There is a marker there indicating the shoreline of 1849. There are a lot of 30+ story buildings built on landfill, and they have stood, some of them, for 50 years. I worked 30 years in one of those big buildings.
