Here is the Wikipedia about the issue. The issue was discoveredby two students one at Princeton and an Engineering student un Hoboken when the building was new. Later engineering studies in the 90s say the issue isn't as bad. One issue I notice is the mass damper requires power. The solar up top was not used due to Citibank and Exxon both being the Rockefellers. Maybe using the solar and storage might be a tertiary solution. But crazy to know.
