Bet it’s tilting left.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sounds like the ground is unstable. One big quake could bring it down.

This wouldn’t have happened if Trump built the tower!

Also, if Trump DID build this, you KNOW the media will be all over it 24/7!!!

The leaning tower of Frisco. Bet it will not last long.

It’s all landfill over there on Mission Street.

The building is literally standing on mud, sand, and garbage.

was completed in 2008 and has sunk 16 inches and shifted 2 inches to the northwest since opening,

Sort of like the Obama administration.

Used to be an office tower in Atlanta that had a visible lean. The ‘experts’ claimed it was just an optical illusion. But they demolished the building after only 25 years of use, highly unusual for an office tower. (As a side note, it cost as much to demolish it as it did to build it, as it had to be carefully deconstructed floor by floor.)

A subsidence problem along with their shaky ground problem?

NASA: California Drought Causing (San Joaquin) Valley Land to Sink August 19, 2015

The sea is not rising, it’s your land that is sinking!

High rise building???

Trump's fault!!!

I can’t believe a building inspector allowed this, especially in earthquake country.

[IamConservative]

Pretty strange. Buildings of the size have to be anchored to bedrock. That said, I wonder if the earthquake proof features are allowing it to shift? Some buildings are designed to sway with counterweighting. Some buildings are actually sitting on ball bearings.

The geologists who approved this project should be shot.

[Boogieman]

The transit authority also said the high-rise is made of concrete rather than steel, “resulting in a very heavy building. This heavy structure rests on layers of soft, compressible soil. The foundation of the Tower, however, consists only of a concrete slab supported by short piles that fail to reach the bedrock below. That foundation is inadequate to prevent settlement of a building with the weight of the Tower.”

If it’s true they didn’t sink the piles into the bedrock, then it’s the builders’ fault.

The 58-story Millennium Tower, located at 301 Mission Street just south of the city's financial district, was completed in 2008 and has sunk 16 inches and shifted 2 inches to the northwest since opening...

They mean the 57-story Millennium Tower.

[Larry Lucido]

shifted 2 inches to the northwest

Great. Now the whole building will be full of slant-eyes.

[buffaloguy]

I wonder who the engineers were. Chinese?

[Professional Engineer]

I guess no one paid attention to the the Ocean Tower at South Padre.

Stand an ISIS suicide bomber on the side of the building that’s offset from level and blow him up. See if that levels the building.
