San Francisco Highrise Building Sinking Fast - Ruh Rhow

Wow that is just wow. I'm a piledriver by trade, we drove deep foundation pilings for bridges and buildings like that. I always thought our work had fooled mother nature.

I feel we are way past due for the Big One, certainly a big volcanic event out on the west coast. It's almost 40 years since Mt St Helens and over 500 years before that.

 

They just had three volcanoes erupt at once in Indonesia , and that country as well as my gf's (she lives right near Mt. Pinatubo in Angeles City Philippines, and there's a couple more active volcanoes nearby )all sit on the so-call "ring of fire". Scary.

 

It's not just St. Helens that gives folks concern. Mt. Rainer is basically a powder keg waiting to go off- even more so than St. Helens

 

Let's not forget our own famous Super-Volcano: Yellowstone National Park. Long overdue.

 

Can't believe the building is not condemned.

Trying to blame it on construction next door pumping out too much groundwater....

Maybe if they had done a better job on the foundation this wouldn't have happened. So trying to cheap out on the deep foundation, now will cost them nearly twice as much as the building is worth to save it.
