Engineers Reveal Mysterious Reason Leaning Tower of Pisa Is Slanted

And here I thougth it was because of subsidence on one side. Foolish me.
“Ironically, the very same soil that caused the leaning instability and brought the Tower to the verge of collapse, can be credited for helping it survive these seismic events,” said Professor Mylonakis, a person part of the 16-person study from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol. The soil allegedly lessened the earthquake vibrations underneath to not wreck the famous tower.
Uh, that’s not what the headline says….
