In other news World Vignettes: ‘Big Ben is leaning, claim engineers' - Indian Express‘Big Ben is leaning, claim engineers
'LONDON: The Big Ben, the iconic clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, is leaning and its tilt is now visible to the naked eye and is getting worse every year, The Sunday Telegraph reported on Sunday. The top of the tower is about a feet and a half off the perpendicular and if the tilt continues uncorrected, Big Ben would fall one day. But it would take it 4,000 years to reach the angle of Tower of Pisa.
Hmm, so many buildings could be on verge of collapse...

Taj Mahal minaret pinnacle falls during repair work?

Maintenance workers found the pinnacle of the south western minaret of Taj Mahal lying on a cleaning platform surrounding the structure in Agra on Monday, sparking worries that the turret may have fallen off. However, officials of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) said that the pinnacle was removed because the structure had weakened, blaming monkeys for it.
