San Francisco’s famous Millennium Tower in a previous video
- Role: backdrop
- In the video: The narrator cites San Francisco’s Millennium Tower as a skyscraper on a pile foundation that sank and tilted. He says it seems mostly fixed but still turns up in the news.
- Why it matters: A brief second example of pile foundation failure; minor and substitutable by any other sinking structure.
