They failed as it's still leaning. They need to try again and make it actually straight this time. It could be interesting to try and also straighten the upper portions too since it wasn't built totally straight.
- elliottkember 3y agoI'm pretty sure they don't want to actually straighten it due to the immense cost of renaming it
- seeingnature 3y agoNo, they actually succeeded because it's still leaning. The tower was known for leaning and they wanted to preserve that famous lean while still increasing safety, which they increased.

- SamBam 3y agoNot bad, but I feel like a single tower would have been funnier.
- Dylan16807 3y agoA single tower sounds like they fixed it. I think clearly highlighting all the other towers works better for this joke.
- pmontra 3y agoSuperman straightened the leaning tower in the third movie in 1983. That action wouldn't be well received in Italy in real life. We have a zillion of straight towers but everybody talks about and goes to see the odd leaning one. Superman eventually restored the original leaning angle.
- Suppafly 3y agoIt was built leaning, it can't actually be straightened completely.
