Will 'Tall Building Curse' strike again?

The Curse states that tall buildings are a close forerunner to collapse. (As an example, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building were built at the beginning of the 1930s and the start of the Great Depression.)

Saudi Arabia is running on empty at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if things went haywire there too.
