The tower is leaning . . . . . USA: Call the lawyers Europe: Lets give it a few hundred years and see what happens.

Been up the Big Bem Tower (i know this is the name of the bell, not tower). Was there at 1200 to feel the "bongs" or chimes go through you.

Fairly recently, they named it the Elizabeth Tower, but most people call it Big Ben. I had no idea that it was leaning.

Oldehove in Leeuwarden. or the nearby tower in Miedum. Both lean a lot.

Another fascinating video. It's always fun to see what category you're going to come up with. Wow is the Thames still that filthy? I thought they'd cleaned it up.

I've watched a ton of your videos, your narration has really improved, great work!!

There was also the steeple of the First Congregational Church in New London, CT, which stood for 165 years after its architect told the congregation that it was unsafe and that the contractor had botched the masonry that supported it. Sadly, after the reinforcements that were added to stabilize it had been neglected for some time, it collapsed in early 2024. Maybe there should be a separate video for structures that survived the longest in precarious condition before collapsing.

Cool video Bud, if you want to get great pictures of a Viaduct, come on up to Susquehanna Pa, we happen to have a stone Viaduct that was built for the Erie railroad back in 1847/48, and is still in use today,

The Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield, UK. The Church began to be built in 1234. Durring the 14th century the Church was expanded. A wooden framed spire was added around 1362. Due to shortage of labour caused by the black death it thought inexperienced craftsmen used unseasonal timer with insufficient bracing to hold to structure in place. In the 17th century 33tons of lead was used to clad the spire. This has resulted in a 45 degree twist now causes the tip to lean 9ft 6in (2.9m) off centre. Local legend has it that the spire will straighten up if a virgin ever marries in the church.

YAHN, not Jan. The Dutch pronounce J as a Y. And it's BROOZH, not BROOGS. They made a fucking movie with the name in the title. FFS.

[@SeverityOne]

To be fair, I prefer a human mucking up the pronunciation over an AI voice any day. In addition, 'oude' as in 'Oude Kerk' is pronounced like 'awde'. The French pronounce the 'ou' as 'oo' in English, but the Dutch don't. Except, of course, if it's a French word, like 'croupier'. Dutch phonology can sometimes be a bit mystifying.
