16 inches over 8 years is absolutely insane. That's the Usain Bolt of a sinking building.

- buckbova 10y agoReminded me of the Mandalay Bay incident some years ago. Apparently they tried to cheap out and use a previous soils report from an adjacent area. > The tower was sinking ½ to ¾ inches a week http://traveltips.usatoday.com/mandalay-bay-history-10712.html http://traveltips.usatoday.com/mandalay-bay-history-10712.ht...
- torgoguys 10y agoAnd the article mentions it was 10 inches in only (it's first) 2 years after completion!
- matthewowen 10y agoGood news, the sinking is slowing! :/
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoIf the pilings go down 80 feet, and bedrock is at 200 feet, then worst case you'll still have 46 usable stories!
