About 30 years ago, a new glass office tower in Durham, NC took that slant and was headed for a crash across a 4-lane commuter roadway. Engineers eventually counter-balanced the tilting foundation and corrected the alignment. Still in use today. But, I wondered at the time, just how a person would feel about working in that structure after seeing the story in the news.

It’s not the length of the road you have to worry about, it’s the width…….

You need to have a particular bent of mind to appreciate this.
