Surely, the tilting is the biggest worry. Anybody care to estimate how many more inches can this tall building tilt before the lateral stresses lead to its collapse?

I think you would be amazed how far it could tilt before it collapses.

For example the Tower of Pisa (55m height) is leaning much worse: almost 4 meters.
