Is this sentence grammatically correct?

I heard the news that the clock tower had been leaning slightly.

  

Top answer

It may be grammatically correct, but it seems to mean something unlikely. I cannot call it correct because I do not think it says what you think it does. If the tower had been leaning, it no longer is leaning, or it only leaned now and then.
