You're kidding right?


No, the buildings have little strength unless they are vertical. It's part of the tubular design. As soon as the top would get out of balance it would come straight down, not fall to the side. The force of gravity is much greater than the horizontal sheer force and the building would crumble and seek the closest path to the center of the earth.
