Information Sink Hole
Posted on | March 29, 2003 |
The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, the engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.

Same at York University - York Uni, England had the same problem and had to be rebuilt. Whoops. Same with a water tower here. It was built, but they forgot to take into account the weight of the water.

Shifting the blame - No, the engineers were OK; but the ground sucks.
