[narrator] But sway
wasn't the only problem
concerning residents, who also reported
hearing banging noises. That could be caused
by another air-induced
problem. The so-called stack effect. [Nehemiah Mabry]
When it's cold outside the warmer air
on the inside rises, creating a build up
of pressure that looks for
somewhere to escape which, in a super tall
building like this, could be the elevator shafts
or the garbage chute

[narrator] But sway wasn't the only problem concerning residents,
00:00:04.767 --> 00:00:08.002
who also reported hearing banging noises.
00:00:08.267 --> 00:00:11.767
That could be caused by another air-induced problem.

The so-called stack effect.
00:00:14.566 --> 00:00:16.003
[Nehemiah Mabry] When it's cold outside
00:00:16.367 --> 00:00:19.005
the warmer air on the inside rises,
00:00:19.005 --> 00:00:21.666
creating a build up of pressure
00:00:21.666 --> 00:00:24.003
that looks for somewhere to escape
00:00:24.367 --> 00:00:26.867
which, in a super tall building like this,
00:00:26.867 --> 00:00:30.001
could be the elevator shafts or the garbage chute.
