project drained the soil under the tower causing it to tilt and lean. the tower is leaning to the north and west, away from the terminal project. the people behind the terminal project blame the problems on the tower on a defective foundation. since developers did not anchor the piles into bedrock 200 feet below. the builder insisted their foundation is state-of-the-art and sits on top of 1,000 piles driven 80 feet down into bay mud. they also had a few experts tell them this tower, in spite of its tilting and leaning is 100% safe. they will start drilling here any moment. the developers will hold a news conference later this morning at 9:00 outside their tower. bob redell, today in the bay. >> thanks, bob.
