That’s nothing. Pretty soon Trump Tower will be fully upside down.

Isn’t not finding bedrock in Manhattan rather unusual?

It is built on a landfill and they chose not to go to bedrock.

The skyscraper I want to see tilt over and fall into the East River is One Manhattan Square, the ridiculously ill-proportioned glass box that towers over the Manhattan Bridge. While I admit that it sometimes looks pretty when the light is just right, in all other respects it’s just a blight on the skyline. And now the developer is about to put two more just like it next to it.
I assume that at some point in the next century or so Manhattan is going to have real issues with the current crop of super-talls. I would bet good money that One Seaport isn’t the only one that suffers from short-sighted cost-cutting. And if one of them needs to be taken down before it topples of its own accord, well, controlled demolition in such a densely-constructed area is going to be a real trick.
