    The engineering work to compensate for quakes and winds in this type of buildings is fascinating.

    There's vids on net, when folks record the view via windows, from lets say floor 50, during a windy day, and you can see the building slightly swinging.
    Not my type of a workplace (big smile/shakes head)

    That's the case in most modern buildings that tall. That said, I would not want to be there either. I know it's technically safe, but I would not feel safe.
