Is the San Jacinto monument still sinking; if so, how much height has it lost from the 570 feet?

No height has been lost from the monument, which would be 570 feet above the ground beneath it whether it was on a hill or in a hollow. But, the ground beneath and all around has indeed sunk -maybe as much as 9 feet, ..somewhat stabilized now that groundwater pumping has been slowed in the area. So, area that used to be marsh is now covered with water, as you said.\n\nFrom USGS fact sheet on subsidence in Houston area: \n"Land subsidence in the Houston-Galveston Bay area has increased the frequency and severity of flooding (fig. 4). In this low-lying coastal environment, more than 10 ft of subsidence (fig. 2) has shifted the position of the coastline and changed the distribution of wetlands and aquatic vegetation. In fact, the San Jacinto Battleground State Historical Park, site of the battle that won Texas independence and commemorated with the San Jacinto Monument (fig. 2), is now partly submerged.

The Official website for the Tower leans beacuse of layers of clay and water under the Tower.  It was closed for several years in the 90s to reinforce the foundation.  It has reopened to visitors and currently appears to be stable.

The mound was moved around 1893. Hasn't been moved since. Lowered, yes, but not moved. Were there celebrities before 1893???

London Bridge old was approximately 7 stories in height –which now is in Lake Havasu Arizona!\nHowever the New London Bridge is length 928ft and 49ft. wide over 650 ft. from the river bottom.

Currently, it is 8,364 feet.\nBefore the 1980 eruption, it was 9,677 feet.\n\nThe source below is from the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory

I happen to be in venice in year 2000 as per people the sea is rising and almost every building ground storey is now under water\nin almost over 200 years.Iam sure they have done something remarkable with foundations but one thing for sure they have not\nmade any new construction.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening into the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. It connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula and a portion of the south-facing Marin County headlands near the small bayside town of Sausalito, and is located at 37°49′12″N, 122°28′43″W.[1] The entire bridge (including the approach) spans 1.7 miles (2.7 km) long; the distance between the towers ("main span") is 4,200 feet (1,280 m), and the clearance below the bridge is 220 ft (67 m) at mean high water. The two towers rise 746 feet (227 m) above the water. The diameter of the main suspension cables is 1 yard (0.91 m).\n\nThe Golden Gate Bridge was the largest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1937 and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco. It is currently the second longest in the United States after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City.

This tower's dimensions are remarkable. The current height of the tower is 1069 feet (320.75 meters), which is about the equivalent of a 105-story building. It is still the tallest structure in Paris by a very wide margin. Its size is very deceiving since there are no other structures close to it. The levels accessible to the public are at heights of 189 feet (57.63 meters), or 19 stories; 380 feet (115.73 meters), or 38 stories; and 896 feet (273 meters), or 89 stories.  \n \n\nFrom the summit, you can see as far away as Chartres (to the southwest) on a clear day. The base of the tower covers a square area of 328 feet (100 meters) on a side. You can stand in the center of the area at the base and look directly up at the floor of the second level, 38 stories above.\n\nThe tower is built of puddled iron (very pure structural iron), and weights 7300 metric tons. It is extremely light. The tower actually weighs less than the air that surrounds it! If a scale model of the tower one foot (30 cm) high were constructed, it would weigh only as much as a nickel (seven grams)! The four pillars supporting the tower are aligned to the points of the compass. You can use the tower as a reference to find you way in Paris. Another unique feature is the tower's base. The four semi-circular arches required elevators to ascend on a curve. The glass-cage machines were designed by the Otis Elevator Company of the United States. These elevators provide visitors a fantastic view as they ride to the top of the tower. \n\nThis tower moves in the wind. On days with high, gusting winds, the wind can reach speeds in excess of 100 mph (160 kph) at the summit of the tower. Visitors can feel the tower swaying gently at the summit. Under such wind conditions, the tower is usually closed to the public, although there is always an engineer present at the summit to monitor telecommunications equipment. The magnitude of the sway in the tower, under worst-case conditions, is about six inches (15 cm). There is no danger of the tower being damaged by wind-induced movement since it is designed to withstand movements easily five times beyond those produced by the highest winds ever recorded. Today, the movements are monitored by a laser alignment system. The tower also leans very slightly in bright sunlight, as one side is heated by the sun and expands slightly.

It is said that the SHIP sinks in the water in that area.\nThat's may be due to higher gravity or some other force which is still unknown.

hmmm, good question....\n\nMaybe because it seems to be in a constant state of falling.

Well, I would argue that is was never lost. It has been there a long time and known by inhabitants of the British Isles for thousands of years. There are many arguments as to who constructed it though especially since the stone used does not come from that area of the UK.\n\nThe website below should be able to help you further

I just watched the show on Super Coasters and this guy was talking about using the BofA building in San Francisco as the launch, it would be a 9 second drop at 150mph, and with the first hill, you would have 11 seconds of free floating air-time.  The ride would continue to the Golden Gate Bridge (5 miles away) and then to the top of the tower for a 1000 foot drop reaching speeds of 220mph.  Now that’s a ride.

Hopefully it will be obliterated. This would be a good time to reduce the expense of rebuilding and pouring all of the money into it, to have it wash out to sea again, where apparently it belongs. If individuals can't afford flood insurance- they shouldn't be allowed.\nHello ?\nSTOP building in FLOOD PLAINS !\nWhat's so hard about that ?\nRelocate Guantanimo Bay prison there instead...
