Especially when it is erected, without permits, in one of Europe's most seismic active zones. In 1977, an earthquake in Bucharest caused the death of 1500 people.

I believe the first “skyscraper” was 10 stories.

Confirmed: The 10-story Home Insurance Building of Chicago, Ill is considered the first “skyscraper,” even though buildings with more storeys existed much earlier, such as in Edinburgh.
