To me it always looks like the widest part of the building is about to collapse at any moment. However I'm no engineer nor an architect, I'm sure it's very safe really and its a very impressive building dominating the Manchester skyline.
Manchester does not have many skyscrapers and so this building is visible from most of the city.
