Reply to comment by PoopMobile9000 in 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

We have, however, gained the ability to do construction without killing workers left and right and leaving a trail of environmental ruin
