The Capital Gate building in Abu Dhabi was just certified by Guiness as the ‘World’s Furthest Leaning Man-made Tower’. The bottom 18 stories of the 35-story building were constructed vertical, and the remaining ones were purposely built at an 18-degree angle. The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at around 4-degrees. Imagine having one of the office looking down 35 stories with no building underneath you! [Source: CNN.com via ASCE SmartBrief. Image: CNN]
