The tower currently leans at 5.6 degrees. Another 1.4 degrees will be enough to bring the 14,000 tons of white marble crashing to the ground. The structure could last another 75 to 100 years IF the soil holds up.
They are saying that steel "suspenders" should brace it while a girdle of steel anchors is built around the foundation and that this process will pull the tower 2 centimeters back from its lean....who knows?
