Top 10 Failed Skyscrapers

[@largol33t1]

There's also 161 Maiden Lane, known as the Leaning Tower of New York. Its outer walls were partly completed when the developers flunked an inspection. It was leaning several inches to one side. The culprit was simply the directors or developers being huge cheapskates. They were warned to use rods that touched the bedrock to stabilize the building but they refused. They opted for much cheaper load bearing rods driven into a poured concrete slab to stabilize it. The massive risk was that it could settle unevenly and that's exactly what happened. Everyone involved in the project fought in court and to this day, it has been left incomplete. Some of the windows on the lower levels have fallen off and it still sits in its current state with no completed walls. A tagger even managed to graffiti the right side of the building!

I have been to the Ryugyong Hotel. At night it's all lit up with lights all along the edges of the building outlining its shape. The grounds around the building are manicured and clean. From the outside this building does look pretty impressive. However, there was no security or locked doors preventing anyone to simply walk into the structure. The inside is totally empty, there are no rooms, no elevators, no doors, I mean that place is nothing but crumbling concrete walls that have seen better days. It's amazing how prideful Kim Jong-un is that he wants the rest of the world to think they are a progressive country. This as of 2019.

Great video, I guessed what #1 was 😊 would love to see the inside of it, finished or unfinished

Dear Leader Kim, we finished the Hotel in the Capital, it's fully functional! - Great job. When can we start advertising to tourists? 😮 What's a Tourist?

I'd love to go there, but the US banned its own citizens from entering. Nations that have truly distinct cultures are rare these days, coming from an experienced traveler, and are among the most interesting to visit.

There is also a 600M tower in China that was never completed which should have made this list.

Loved this. Watched it twice so far. The waste is just painful to think about, but hopefully these project kept a lot of people employed. I can't wait to look up the status of the one in Ukraine. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live in downtown L.A.

Hell yeah
