Company that owns the building is claiming it was a malfunction of one of the big exterior elevators that caused it -
"Today an exterior elevator at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt malfunctioned while mechanics were performing maintenance, causing a vibration to be felt in the building. SUMMIT was closed to the public at the time, no one was injured and there is no danger to the building or its occupants."

Still not a fan of those huge glass buildings, they creep me out.
Fuck that shit. I don’t trust buildings at all. I won’t go in them and if I have to it’s in and out. If I die it will be in a shootout or brawl no building collapse.

I trust 3-story buildings! :D
Can't wobble/crumble down like a skyscraper and won't be a target for Airplanes or Covert Demolition a la 9/11 :D
I'm glad I'm 3 storey house master race.
That must have been a gigantic malfunction for it to be felt throughout the building
There was an apartment on the very top of one off those New York high rise towers valued at $250,000,000 if any GetBigger is interested.
And a very expensive and similar San Francisco high rise building is slightly leaning to the SE which they tried to repair .... but only made it slightly worse.
Kind of strange that you are allowed to build any structure over 12 feet tall atop the world's biggest faultline ...... the SAN ANDREAS.
Team 3-story building 4 LYFE!

OVERLOAD, Thanks for the above info from a professional.
A while back in time, the Golden Gate Bridge was closed to vehicle traffic and only open to pedestrians in order to celebrate something of which I have forgotten.
I understand that that event caused a problem due to the number of pedestrians entering the bridge from both ends.
And when this huge mass of people met in the center some of my inebriated, intoxicated, drugged-up friends claimed that the bridge road actually 'flattened-out" due to the massive weight of the thousands of pedestrians celebrating something regarding that bridge which I have forgotten.
Is it at all possible that that bridge could have collapsed due to the massive weight of all these pedestrians?
And .... Another drugged up friend of mine who knows this stuff (he designs buildings that merely "roll" but do not fall over during massive earthquakes) claims that this same bridge was built almost directly over the San Andreas fault line.
Your expert remarks on that subject would be appreciated as we are planning to visit SF and I plan to take some drone (DJI) video footage during a leisurely stroll over the GG and into Sausalito.
I am a bit concerned because my good friend says that a major Bay Area earthquake occurs somewhat close to every 100 years and since the Big One occurred in 1906
, this next one is just about 20 years late.
And I don't like the ground beneath my feet to shake in the least .... especially if I'm on a bridge or in a high structure .... especially a high rise that's already leaning or does a 'wobble-wobble'.
Thanks!
PS. How long are high rise structures such as the Empire State Building intended to last? Forever???! Or do you guys place a date on their expected demise?
