A 749-foot-tall skyscraper in the heart of Los Angeles could be at risk of collapsing if a historic earthquake eventually strikes the city as many fear. The 52-story Gas Co Company is at the epicenter of controversy after Los Angeles County officials refused to release seismic reports which detail the building's ability to survive the long-feared 'Big One.' The county purchased the skyscraper last year with the intention of moving hundreds of their staff into Los Angeles' fifth tallest building.

Speaker systems typically serve one purpose: playing music until you get tired of them and shove them into a closet.
