Some years ago a huge section of high road collapsed in London due to constant vibration from trains. Quoting: Tess. no but there is a subway sandwich franchise with footlongs down there for commuters. rumor only. not confirmed. heard jared might be working behind the counter. And this is why we can't have nice things. |

If you stand in the right place on drawbridges you can create pulses that will vibrate the bridge but just flexing your feet. |

User ID: 85361706 United States 03/22/2023 07:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know, but if I ever go into another 100 story building, I will be wearing a jet pack, a base jumping parachute, a SCUBA tank, and I will be wearing a jacket made from old passports and be carrying an ice axe.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45843757 United States 03/22/2023 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.nbcnewyork.com (secure)] Quoting: JustmeTX They said an elevator went into free fall and impacted the emergency springs on the 93rd floor. Buildings do move from forces. High winds hitting a high rise building will move it a few inches. The 101 building in Taiwan is designed with a large mass near the top, which is moved by hydraulics to dampen out harmonic vibrations. So who is the unlucky bastard who was 'unfortunately' pulverised in the elevator? They said they were updating the elevator software, so I doubt anyone was in it at the time. So another fucking Indian offshore team installed their shut software, causing the issue … just like for 737 Max. |

User ID: 85148184 United States 03/22/2023 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Third world tech is upon us. You have the Millennium Tower in SF that is about to lean itself into condemnation too dangerous for occupation and now you have this thing that I would not trust after I felt it drop 5 feet and saw things bounce around my desk. I dont like high rise human built structures. They are not meant for safe calm human living. Once you are at one of those high floors you are a prisoner to the elevator and all it takes is a big fire on the floors below you and you are screwed unless you have a parachute. Not for me I prefer being close to the ground where I will take my chances. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73112757 Waiting for Yeshua |
