Lean by Pisa Tower Reversed (Some)!

This is quite interesting, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has been straightened some 18 inches. The balance mechanisms and weighted devices have saved the tower form collapse. The article goes on to explain that it had almost tipped when the engineers pulled the weights off, due to aesthetics, but they "quickly" put them back on averting disaster.
