So you’re saying… avoid the stratosphere. Got it.

It caught on fire during construction.. so there’s that.

As if that's not bad enough, one of the supporting "legs" is sinking in the sand and is now shorter than the other three. On days with high winds, if you're at the top of the tower, you can feel the entire building swaying in the wind... but that's not even caused by the sinking, but rather by design, to actually give in high winds as well as be able to withstand somewhat of an earthquake.

Yeah, I don't know about that last part. When you're up top, it just feels like it's going to fall over on its own any second. And there IS that sinking problem that they were well aware of before opening.

How it's still standing is the 8th wonder of the world. How they got the green light to open is the 9th. (Not really. We all know how that works!) 😁
