Hey, that's the engineer's job to keep em from falling over!
I don't do that kind of math.
Apparently their engineer doesn't do that kind of math either.

I haven't watched the video, bey have heard about that building.
It amazes me that they haven't started to tear it down yet.
Maybe they talk about it in the video. I'll have to watch it at home.

They just need a 30 story tall kickstand.
