I guess it still has a chance, Cuozzo just doesn't want it built so will convince himself as such, people believe what they want to.
The logistics would be tricky, I think there was something a while back discussing potential for a Citicorp style overhang but who knows, I'm not sure how they would build this thing if the embassy doesn't sell.
I only want this built if the design changes for the better.
