I just learned that the Citigroup building had to have all these repairs because it was structurally unsound under high winds (in part due to contractors using bolts rather than welding, but also just design oversight on a very unconventional design) so they had a **secret evacuation plan for midtown Manhattan** and didn't really tell anyone until AFTER they mostly fixed it.
Obsessed with the concept of "secret evacuation plan" in a major city. That's so creepy and bonkers!

I also found out that it is possible for some skyscrapers to fall over, like a tree and hit other skyscrapers maybe knocking them over too... which I thought was very silly in a disaster movie once ... but now I apologize for scoffing.

@futurebird yet another problem that would be solved by my greatly underappreciated post-9/11 suggestion to build all skyscrapers as Weebles

There are at least ten things just as sketchy going on right now and we won't know about them for 20 years... provided they don't get us in that time.

Well, 9 things. I happen to know one of them is the cyberTruck. I don't think we know the half of the dangers those pose.
If I see one in a parking garage I try to stay away from the whole building. Our building's garage has a soft ban on them and certain brands of ebikes. Because they will burn down your lovely building.
