Thousands
of people visit Pisa’s famous tower each year and wonder just how much longer
it can exist without falling.
Millions
of dollars have been spent to stop the tower crashing to the ground. Soft,
shifting soil has always been the tower’s problem. Recently, it was discovered
that the tower had moved two millimeters. This was a great setback because
engineers had previously corrected about twenty millimeters of the lean by
using an inventive underground cables idea to straighten the tower. Pisa would
hate to lose its precious Campo dei Miracoli and the tourist dollars it
generates.
