I am very surprised there isn't that much noise happening regarding this building here in Skyscraperpage or Skyscrapercity! This has got to be the most scary thing to happen in the Skyscraper world since 9-11! Even if Millennium Tower does not totally tilt to the point of collapse, if it tilts just a little more to the point that residents are severely impacted, elevators can no longer work, pipes and electrical systems are busted, etc, it will render the building uninhabitable! And then what? Will it remain there forever as the leaning tower of San Francisco? Or would we sadly see it deconstructed like what happened with Meridian Plaza in Philly or Deutsche Bank in NYC?

And what if it tilts too much? Or if there is a big earthquake? Would it be like the movie, "San Andreas", wherein the US Bank Tower tilts and rests on the Citicorp Tower in LA? Only in this case, it would be the Millennium Tower resting at SalesForce East? What if SalesForce East cannot support the Millennium Tower, then it would domino and collapse to even more adjacent buildings like the Blue Shield building, the Bechtel Building, possibly even SalesForce West and our precious new SalesForce Tower! The madness of it all!!
