every once in a while, they get it wrong...and it goes significantly wrongerer...The Harmon in Vegas comes to mind (they tore it down), and now this saga of the SF Millennium Tower. Carry the one, boys, carry the one...
While the Millennium Tower is no longer sinking anymore at the corner, and has reversed some settlement there, data shows there’s only been about an inch of tilt reversal, a quarter of what the model had predicted. Fix to $120 million project mistake not working as planned.
edit: and remember the "n"!

While the tower appears stable on the Mission side, new rooftop-based monitoring data shows the tower is now tilting a half inch more to the west than before being supported on the north side.
NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit has learned that a recent acceleration in tilting of the Millennium Tower has prompted engineers in charge of the so-called “fix” to employ an unconventional strategy to prop up the building so as to stop it from leaning further while the rest of the work gets done.
