    What caused the Leaning Tower of Pisa to tilt, and will it fall one day?

    		It was originally built on reclaimed land that was and is very soft and still settling. Latest I've heard, they have indeed solved the several hundred year problem of keeping it stable, by using counterweights, I believe.
