It should really be named a wonder of the world, to cast bronze doors like that is quite a feat.

The WTC towers had some kino views ngl

This dreamlike atmosphere of wealth and silence radiated a Titanic vibe of impending disaster.

Oldest door still in use in Rome, at the Pantheon.
Cast in bronze for emperor Hadrian's rebuilding,
It dates from 115 CE (1906 years ago).
Each door is solid bronze, 2.3 metres wide and 7.5 metres high, and weighs 20 tonnes.
Solid product

As long as the joints are in good condition and well oiled... any door will open.

I know right.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

I think I would have my men climb the occulus, drop in hundreds of venomous snakes, (lowered in a basket)
Force the people out, then drop in 100 mongooses to get rid of the snakes, I like that door too much to ram it.

Kind of reminds me of the helmets chimps wore in Burton's Planet of the Apes.

do earthquakes ever happen there
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.
