A few months ago I was at Big Bend Ranch State Park.
I liked that one better.

It would be just too tempting to “thread the needle” with a small plane.

The building’s owners will supply the Velcro for the shoes of tenants on the upside down portion of the building.

It lacks sufficient thickness to resist wind loading.
Stuff on the top floors will move when the wind blows.
The I value is inadequate

It would be just too tempting to thread the needle with a small plane. Or not, with a 747...

That was the first thing that came to my mind too. Doesn’t this duplicate the structure of the infamous Tacoma Narrows bridge, dubbed “Galloping Gertie” for its tendency to flex and pitch in high winds?
Admittedly, the winds on Manhattan Island probably don’t match those of the Tacoma Narrows, but I would think the stresses might be comparable. And Galloping Gertie ended up IN Puget Sound, rather than passing OVER it.

Yes. I think if you go near it, the building will fall on YOU!
Stay away!

That is my thinking. If I got too close it would just fall right on top of me.

I think to be safe I should stay out of New York entirely.
