Talk:List of leaning towers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Definition of a leaning tower

This page is not self-consistent; surely the Leaning Tower of Niles ("a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa") does not lean "due to errors in design or construction or to subsequent external influence"? Either the definition is wrong, or the Leaning Tower of Niles doesn't belong in the list. (Is there an external source for the definition?) Cwitty 23:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the Leaning Tower of Niles belongs on the list, as it was intentionally constructed to be a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, I have removed the Sears Tower from the list, as I don't think that being out of vertical by 4 inches qualifies it to be a leaning tower. Many supertall buildings are slightly out of vertical.Krashski35 (talk) 15:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Most leaning tower in the world"

If I recall correctly, the Olympic Stadium Tower leans at 35 degrees from vertical. Surely this is the "most leaning tower in the world", and not the Suurhusen church tower or the Leaning Tower of Dausenau? Krashski35 (talk) 15:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
