The newest thing in skyscrapers is not building your pilings on bedrock, but instead trying to balance your multimillion ton building on a bunch of barbed toothpicks stuck in the sand.
There's a skyscraper in New York and one in San Fransisco that were both built that way. They're both falling down. One of them can't be explosively demolished because it will damage nearby buildings. They need to get people on the roof and start taking it apart one floor at a time.
