Bad Building

I always say that trucks don't fall over by themselves...that may not be true when it comes to buildings.

Back in 1913, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, a grain elevator tilted to a touch over 26º off of vertical. Very few cracks appeared and the structure was brought back up to vertical. It is still in use today!

It was being filled with wheat for the first time after being built. With approx 875,000+ bushels of wheat inside, one side started to sink. 12" in one hour!

Here's a link...

Check out the pics of the tilt!!!
