New York City Is Sinking Under Its Own Weight

New York City Is Sinking Under Its Own Weight

The Big Apple is playing a sinking sensation! It’s not that NYC has a secret desire to be Atlantis, but with its massive buildings and millions of people, it’s putting a hefty load on the bedrock. You see, the city is sinking a bit each year due to the weight of all those iconic structures and bustling crowds. It’s like the urban jungle is doing a slow dance with gravity. Don’t worry; it’s not an emergency exit situation, more like a geological balancing act that’s part of the city’s ever-evolving story. ??️?
