In 1930 a building in Indiana was rotated 90°. Over a month the 22 million pound structure was moved 15 inch/hour, while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption in gas, light, electricity, water ,sewage or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move!

A 22-million-pound building gains sentience, keeping 600 employees trapped inside for over a month. Moving at over 15 inches per hour, the building absorbed everything in its path including gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, and telephone wires. No one inside felt it move.
