SF's Millennium Tower sank another 1/10" in just one week

Millimeter by millimeter, the day is coming when the tower will need to be taken down. My understanding is that they can’t just use careful demolish charges to level it. It will need to be disassembled in a process that’s the reverse of construction, and costs just about as much.

The lesson that should be learned is, when you’re building a building, design for a life of over 100 years and don’t minimize anything.
