* In 1978, when architecture student Diane Hartley reported a dangerous flaw in the stilted design of Manhattan's Citicorp Center (now 601 Lexington), civil engineers calculated that if a windstorm struck the building at the right angle, it could topple over sideways, potentially striking adjacent buildings and setting off a domino-effect mass collapse. Ultimately averted via emergency repairs to reinforce the skyscraper's structural supports, although a close call with Hurricane Ella ''nearly'' kicked off this trope on a catastrophic scale in the middle of Midtown.
