    Earth-scraper[^] Looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable living there...or walking on the glass plaza on top.

    heheh I love these comments in the article: "Hi, this is Hayton in the basement 'penthouse' apartment. I want to report a drain smell. Yeh, I smelt it this morning!" "Um, Harvey, we have a problem down here on the forty second floor.... Yeah, water coming in....What's the first thing????Evacuate floors forty three through sixty five....Okay" :laugh:

      I have been to that square. It is massive. Anyway, earthquakes, they had a bad one some years back. Dont know if I would like to be that far below ground when one hits...

        Now that's an argument.

            Well I guess it would make tidying up afterwards a lot easier.

                So, it'll all be a good idea then? Given the accuracy of Hollywood science...

                  If the earth liquifies, like it does in an earthquake, I can see the surrounding buildings dissapearing down the hole.

                        With this glass plaza on the top the first floors will be advertised to have “pussy view” during the summer.
