Pretty bad. The historians and engineers have been working on the Tower for years to correct the lean. For a long time people couldn't go to the top of the tower, but today they are allowing people to walk up. Somehow they have corrected the foundation with several things and so far it seems to be working.

How was the Leaning Tower of Pisa constructed?
The tower was not constructed as a leaning tower, but due to bad soil conditions sunk more on one side than on the other.
Why were people falling down the leaning tower Pisa?
As of 2017, it still hasn't collapsed. Eventually it might, if the lean gets too bad.
Why you always lean?
Leaning is just bad posture when standing. It can also mean that you have a curved spine.
Did thunder strike the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Could have, but that is not why is leans. It was built wrong and the foundation was bad.
What movie straightens the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Superman 3: when superman turns bad he straightens the Leaning Tower of Pisa, he later corrects it when he returns as good superman, much to the dismay of the local replica tradesman.
Why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa an example of art?
it's more an example of bad engineering and building practices, but it does look cool
When your tire just leans over does that mean your ball joint is broke?
Chances are Yes, it depends on how bad its leaning, Ive seen some lean with bad wheel bearings.
Why is the leaning tower a tall structure that is not stable?
In 1173 the constrution workers were building a bell tower but it was originally supposed to be standing up staight but it kept tilting. Over centuries other people were helping stablize the tower and others made it worse and because the tower kept tilting they closed the tower 1990. Then they reopened the tower 2001 and they say it is expected to stay like that for the next 300 years.It will eventually fall in the next 200 years. But it is currently being supported by protecters, (it leans 1mm a year)the leaning tower of Pisa will fall eventually but not yet you see it leans 1mm a year.It doesn't lean over long enough to have to do that. The centre of gravity of the tower is still vertically above the foot print (the supporting surface) of the tower.Because it hasn't leaned far enough to become terminally unstable. Also because of twentieth century engineering work to underpin it, which has active response by hydraulic rams to counter any new movements that occur.Pisa's Leaning Tower can lean as far as its area of support but will topple if it's windy enough or if enough resonance occurs.
What is a good building to draw from Italy?
a good building to draw for italy would be the leaning tower of pisa. it school frendly and super easy to draw even if your a bad drawer like me. i had to draw to tower before for a school project and it was nice and simple.
Do you think it was a good idea to make the tower of pisa lean at the first time?
It wasn't deliberate just bad construction methods; a 3 metre foundation on unstable ground will do it every time.
Is it bad to lean on your friend's shoulder if he has a girlfriend?
yes
Has the Leaning Tower of Pisa collapsed?
The tower currently leans at 5.6 degrees. Another 1.4 degrees will be enough to bring 14,000 tons of intricately carved white marble crashing to the ground, according to Schwartz's tests. At 7 degrees the model shows that walls cannot support the structure anymore. High-tension areas on the lower floors on the northern side caused the bricks to pull apart.However, Schwartz believes that this dreadful scenario will not occur in the near future. "The structure is really good," she says. "It could last another 75 to100 years, if the soil holds." The soft, sandy subsoil is what has given the tower its lean since Bonanno Pisano began building it in 1173. In 1990, the tower had to be closed to the public. Keen to re-open Pisa's landmark in time for the millennium, the committee has started frantic work to keep the tower aloft.
