Reply to TIL In 1930, to make way for a new building, the Indiana Bell Building, weighing 11,000 tons, was moved 16 meters and rotated 90°. The work took a month to finish and did not disrupt the building's essential services, nor its gas, water, and electricity supply. No one inside felt the building move. by LPercepts
This is amazing, especially for what they had in 1930!
Also, it sort of reminds me of those Foucault pendulums, where the pendulum moves so slowly that you can't notice it, but after a few hours, it moves quite a bit. It's sort of like that, you don't even know the building's moving, but a month later, it's been fully turned!
edit: why was I downvoted? :(

How does this work? Do you like, dig a hole, put some lube in there, and, yknow, or what?
I have so many questions, that, weirdly, I really want answered.
