Structural Tower Height Benchmark Comparison
Engineering Feasibility Diagnostic Summary
Status: STRUCTURAL FAILURE CONFIRMED. A span of 2,843.5 km requires 568 abyssal pillars. At depths exceeding 4,800m, support columns buckle under self-weight mass (14.2 Gigatons) and hydrodynamic drag, while tectonic spreading (25.0 mm/yr) sheer truss expansion joints.

⚠️ Physical Limit Failure
Support columns reaching 4,200m exceed Euler buckling stress bounds. Deep Mid-Atlantic rift valley tectonic shear (25mm/yr) will sever rigid spans within 48 months.
