It won`t . They have put a log on one side to prop it up.

Never is well balance.

They've spent a lot of time and money underpinning the foundations and stabilising the tilt.
Hopefully it will never fall over.

On February 27, 1964, the government of Italy requested aid in preventing the tower from toppling. It was however considered important to retain the current tilt, due to the vital role that this element played in promoting the tourism industry of Pisa.[3] A multinational task force of engineers, mathematicians and historians was assigned and met on the Azores islands to discuss stabilization methods. After over two decades of work on the subject, the tower was closed to the public in January 1990. While the tower was closed, the bells were removed to relieve some weight, and cables were cinched around the third level and anchored several hundred meters away. Apartments and houses in the path of the tower were vacated for safety. After a decade of corrective reconstruction and stabilization efforts, the tower was reopened to the public on December 15, 2001. It was found that the lean was increasing due to the stonework expanding and contracting each day due to the heat of sunlight. This was working in combination with the softer foundations on the lower side. Many methods were proposed to stabilize the tower, including the addition of 800 metric tons of lead counterweights to the raised end of the base.[citation needed] The final solution to prevent the collapse of the tower was to slightly straighten the tower to a safer angle, by removing 38 m3 of soil from underneath the raised end. The tower has been declared stable for at least another 300 years

One of 'Silvio Berlusconi's' relatively more credible claims,was that "The Tower of Pisa will never fall",if you voted for him!
He lost.

Absurd that that can be predicted. It's like when a doctor tells a patient when they will die. The doctor doesn't know! And no one knows anything about the tower toppling either.

it has now been stabelised

Cherry Pie

never. they are paying people to hold it in place!!!! : )

phelps

i think they may have put something in the foundations to stop that.

It wont, they have done a lot of work on it so this will not happen........And so they should I was there two years ago and it's such a place of beauty and ingenuity it would be a shame if anything did happen to it.............

They were doing work to secure it when I was there in 2001 so I think they are now hoping it won't!

Actually if you read further on in the article that is given by someone else earlier it tells you about this work and that it is expected that in 300 years the tower will have reached a critical angle again and be about to topple over. A little way off yet!

It has been predicted the Leaning Tower of Pisa could topple over within 20 years
