The sinking reality of New York City's skyscrapers.

A new geological study has found that New York City is sinking, with some areas sinking by one to two millimeters a year due to the weight of skyscrapers. The study warns that the more the city sinks, the more vulnerable it becomes to natural disasters, particularly floods. Lower Manhattan is at the greatest risk, with concerns for Brooklyn and Queens as well. The study calls for mitigation strategies to be included in future construction plans to reduce flood risk.
