San Diego has a beautiful skyline (from most angles) but I am somewhat disappointed that the tallest "skyscraper" peaks out at 35 S.

A little league coach of mine was a cement contractor and did a lot of work for the downtown development in the 1960s and '70s. He was seriously injured and was clearly going to die.
On his deathbed, they recorded him telling about how they short poured almost everything down there. Because of the earthquake faults and water table concerns, he wanted to get right with God before his death. He sang like a bird. The general contractors wanted it short poured, they were fulfilling a request, but it didn't make it right of course.
Apparently, after his death, there were a lot of lawyers involved saying it didn't mean anything because they couldn't verify who was speaking on the recording... If there's ever a quake on that fault line... 35 stories will fall like 135.
