I visited Taipei 101, which at one time was the world's tallest building. On the Observation Deck you can actually see the main damper, which has what is basically a giant plumb bob in it. You can actually see the building's sway. They also have video of what it looked like on the day of an earthquake.
That was enough for me. A mile high building? Not for me. Let Mikey do it.
