With all the flooding, I think this may add to that tilt.
The tower of Pisa has been leaning for over 800 years. In 1990, engineers projected that the tower would topple if it reached an angle of 5.44 degrees— and the structure was still leaning at 5.5. What gives the tower its infamous tilt, and why hasn’t it collapsed yet?

After several centuries and many generations, we’ve all gotten used to it being that way and probably don’t give it a second thought. But now that you mention it…..

The whole area is flooded. Now, it has always been wet there, but it’s a lot wetter now! Anyway, it would have fallen eventually unless they shored it up.

Perhaps no-one pushed it in the right place.

Given the massive flooding in Italy, I’m pretty sure a toddler could push it over!

It was always inevitable that ultimately, It would fall unless shored up. But with the flooding? I think sooner rather than later.

How could it NOT? I’m pretty sure the tower was going to eventually fall anyway, but this is making it easier.

We have a street light on the front blvd. and it has quite the lean too. I reported it but the authorities aren’t doing anything about it. I guess they are just waiting until it falls on someone.
