New York is not just rising in the skyline, it is very slowly sinking too 🤯 Scientists estimate New York City has over a million buildings weighing roughly 1.7 trillion pounds. That kind of load helps pull the city down around 1 to 2 millimeters each year, on top of natural subsidence and rising seas. When you stack that much concrete, steel, and wealth on a city, it slowly starts to sink into the ground. #NewYork #ClimateRisk #CityFacts #UrbanWealth #FutureProof

In May 1884, showman P.T. Barnum turned doubt into spectacle — marching 21 elephants, led by the legendary Jumbo, across the brand-new Brooklyn Bridge. 🐘🌉 The stunt wasn’t just circus flair. After rumors of collapse rattled New Yorkers, Barnum’s herd became living proof of the bridge’s strength. That unforgettable parade across the East River cemented the bridge as both an engineering marvel and a symbol of city pride. #elephants #brooklyn #history #brooklynbridge #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #ny #vacations #bridge #circus #ptbarnum
