This lense is either designed to be a fisheye or a really cheap wide angle. The buildings don't lean like that
Notice the angle of the other buildings on the right.

Try England.
Leroy, are you this quick-witted in person too? Or is it only after you can think about it a while. You should be hosting a talk show, you'd give Letterman a run for his money.

As to the picture, I took it with a normal lens, no wide angle or anything. But it was taken through the window of my hotel room (notice the slight glare in the sky area), so maybe the glass in that window created that cheap wide-angle effect.

I work with one of the former structural engineers of this building. He's one of 3 people in the world who actually knows the final height of the building. (No, he can't tell anyone.)
As for the sway, the shape of the building mitigates a lot of the wind forces. For a really geeky article about this building, check out this link:
