Image From Space Shows Downtown San Francisco Sinking Slowly Around Millennium Tower

[Fred Bloggs]

Looks like the Millennium tower is going to take out the downtown area of the city next.

A few-inches dimple way downtown is not a problem. Most of the city
sits on rock way above sea level and isn't going anywhere. The MT
building was badly designed and ugly besides.

New Orleans, Houston, Miami, Jakarta are really sinking.

Here's one example of rock way above sea level
<https://youtu.be/aHNDPbuVAUI>
and in an earthquake, the 'isn't going anywhere' label doesn't apply.

Rock does have an advantage over soil, in that it doesn' liquefy. It can
still move dangerously, and the geologic history we know indicates a lot of
it has done so.

I don't know of any big rocks like that in SF. There is some smaller
stuff in Glen Canyon that, low-probability, could take out some
hikers.

We do have a lot of eucalyptus trees. They are non-native and shallow
rooted, so occasionally fall over even without an earthquake.

The MT building is leaning *over 0.1 degrees* now. I calculate that if
you and Fred stay at least 2500 miles away, you might survive the
crash.

It's a bloody big problem if one side of the tower is on rock (or just
on firmer soft stuff) and the other isn't, though.

MT is super heavy and none of the pilings reach bedrock.

The real problem is that the building is full of lawyers.

That's a problem? The only problem I see here is if they get enough
warning of its sudden collapse.

0.11 degres of tilt in 12 years. Sea level rise will submerge it
before it collapses.

The centrifugal force due to rotation of the earth will push it one way,
pointing south,
as it is not on the equator.

Millennium Tower is leaning North-East.

The adjacent building is the Millennium Tower. You can't compare it
against Salesforce because Salesforce is curved, but if you line up an
edge against nearby square buildings there is no visible lean. 0.11
degrees would be hard to see and I doubt that the other buildings are
vertical to 0.11 degrees either.

At least she bought me a beer.

Better find something else to get worked up about. Albatross divorce
rates maybe.

It already has. Some of its early posts are National Enquirer stuff.
