As the Millennium Tower approaches maximum lean, San Francisco asks for a new expert

2021-10-07 00:00:00

This new video shares information I had not previously heard about San Francisco's Millennium Tower.

Evidently, engineer Ronald Hamburger has reported the maximum lean of the building before it becomes unsafe in an earthquake is 29". The building is already 78% of the way there, at 22.75" of lean, and Mr. Hamburger proposed some testing that may increase it further.

The City of San Francisco is insisting a new independent engineer take a look before anything else is done.

Here is another recent video, as I can not watch just one:
