Does anyone here have any knowledge of how something like this gets resolved? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Most likely the building gets stabilized and then anyone involved gets embroiled in lawsuits and it stays standing half finished for years. One Seaport is a famous recent example of an under construction skyscraper getting halted for structural issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/161_Maiden_Lane | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes, sometimes gravity resolves the problem for you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Given all the bad press around things like the millennium tower, I think once you have an issue like this, the building is done. No one will want to live there. And given structural problems with load bearing beams, I would expect the building has to be demolished. But maybe they can demolish it top down partially and rebuild up from the compromised area if the city and engineers deem that safe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Tie every helicopter you can find to the roof, gas the bent bit off, haul it away and drop it somewhere? They'll likely shore it up with hydraulic props - probably going through the floor and ceiling to floor slabs above and below - to stabilise it, and then start demolishing the building bit by bit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
