- On sunny days, reflections from the building dubbed the Walkie-Talkie Tower can create beams of light which have allegedly been hot enough to melt parts of cars. Sky's Enda Brady reports.

Reporter: "It got up to 92 degrees!!"
Me: lol silly Brits that's nothing
Reporter: "Celcius!"
Me: 😳
Your name screams america
lol i said the same thing, then i went to google to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Switch over to metric already
Anyone who uses the word brit has probably married their cousin
As a Finnish, that isn't even mild sauna temperature

Who authorized the construction of a concave building? With all the computers we use in engineering these days, are we to believe that nobody modelled this?
nobody cared
British people don't care about the poors to plan for them, and wouldn't do anything if they knew.
All about the $$
They realised on second design review... But concluded it would be around 40c not above 80c
And just a mile down the road its freezing.
Wait really?
@@michaelkurniawan3517 Yes.

"The phenomenon is caused by the current elevation of the sun in the sky." Idk why that statement is just really funny to me.
I think Archimedes did something similar to invading ships at Syracuse around 200 b c. He used reflective shields of soldiers to create a parabolic reflector, to set the enemies' wooden ships on fire. A puzzle : How did he manage to choreograph those soldiers ? "Ok, the nerd's in charge, fellas".
He sumoned Obanma to mind controll dem
@@hienable6933he is right
British engineering :D
The architect is from Uruguay
And he did the same thing with an earlier building in Las Vegas

People who are living in the equator: *Pathetic*
Pfft even they don't get 90 degrees celsius
@@PiousMoltar As someone who lives near the equator, I agree. The most we get daily is usually 30 degrees
I think the hottest must be around 50C... This is double that.
90 degress its like touching hot pan
This could be a new way of relieving the national grid of too much work.
Deal with huge buildings everyday and had no idea it could get that hot! Very Interesting! Missing the sun now though…
It's because it's concave. A flat skyscraper wouldn't focus the energy to a region as precisely.
@@afjer yes right
What are they goin to do to fix the problem?
+Jack Daniels they decided to call it feature.
its causing wind problems now too. some hong kong conglomerate bought it out for 1.3billion pounds....
he did not come dressed for it
then: form follows function. now: architect's gigantic ego first, who cares about function. lol
Ted mosby, you failed.
😂 the 1 skyscraper Europe decides to build and it doubles for a death ray
Stick to your old dusty Brick and Mortar
Same designer who designed the Vdara Hotel & Spa built in 2009 which has the same exact problem. So he knew what will happened but still the building got approved LOL. Do subscribe to my channel !
Cooking some eggs for free.. its there and nobody are looking.

Well done architect

Well thats why we need engineers😂
@@Bhaidostyaar Nope. Architects do something called sun path analysis this would have been easily predicted if done properly
Well that guy is chilling with his egg sandwich thing
? WHAT?? yeah... yeah i guess he is... he should open a restruant there and sell all natural cooked egg sandwhiches
"its the suns fault" lol
Meursault？
The heat may affect the structures of the older mortar buildings.
"92 degrees"
Well that doesn't sound so bad
"Celsius"
sweet jesus
How are they just chilling in an area that’s almost 200° F lmaooo
They're just visiting. Temporarily.
I love that they needed a solar physicist to explain this.
Anything as big and ugly as the lumpy building in London should be put to the vote. I think a city's residents should be allowed to decide what the city will look like.
Then everything will get turned down and nothing would ever get built
Well, I know that was not a good idea, but about yours... there's a saying that states that "a camel is a horse designed by a committee".
Everything there has to get planning permission so things like this rarely happen
The most ugliest building I've ever seen
This is so symbollic, it must never ever be torn down!
He’s just vibing there with his egg and some sandwich poor man ☹️😂
that's clean some clean and renewable energy.
It’s secretly a Death Star
a weapon to surpass metal gear
It's up to 92 degrees. 'I've never felt this heat in London'.
Hun, I don't think they feel that heat in the Caribbean!
that was 92 degrees Celsius which is 197 degrees Fahrenheit
@@thabg007 exactly 💯
@@thabg007we live in a celcius world, so don't need conversions 😅
Trust me! I'm a Architect!
Just throw blinds or a curtain on it, but make sure to tighten it good so it doesn't blow around.
The fixed it again
The design of the building should be properly considered especially the site where the building is to be built. Façades should not always be about beauty.
The funny thing is that the building is quite hideous imo, so not only is it a hazard....it's also just an extremely unpleasant looking building.
next thing you know 20 overly made up teenage girls will converge on the spot to top up their sunbeds tans and receive a dose of a few rads towards their melanoma
lol great planning design there..
92 celcius! Thats almost boiling temp. in celcius!
we have a severe problem in tanger hilton hotel that was finished in 2017
whos here after london was hit with near-40 degree temperatures on monday and tuesday?
From the S.R.M. geosatellite covering our beautiful healing sun, beaming powerful RF to giant solar farms, with deployments of Al oxide, so called "clean energy" patent. They're regional patents, there's one here, on the West coast of N. America. I'm in California. The Calif. droughts and fires were visibly Engineered since 2012.
what is the name of the street? I wish to explore this area in Google earth :)
The problem skyscraper is '20 Fenchurch Street', not sure about where the reporters are but cant be more than a few over.
Do realise its 8 years later, just in case any one else is curious. I think they are somewhere near the corner where are Lovat Lane meets Eastcheap, roughly near number 35
@@Jonny5athere's Google maps ten years ago!?😮😮😮
back to london after few years, walked on east cheap yesterday. They solved the problem and put blinds over the glasses.
92 degrees lol wtf
The man that fried that egg is my dad's cousin's son.
Lol
It’s a shame they didn’t think that one through, it did look less obtrusive on the skyline when it was basically a mirror, the shades they’ve added are pretty ugly.
Fitting, as the building looks like hell.
That guy said it got up to 92c which = 197f texas aint that god damn hot lol!
Watching this from South Africa, wondering if we've had this much heat
This is where a guy had plastic parts on his new parked Jaguar become deformed; ridiculous!
Who are after kanthi wlogger short 😁
just build some migrant hotel there. they are more used to the heat where they are from
небоскреб уоки-токи -уродливое здание, архитектор бездарь ,

I hope they're all wearing sunscreen...
Hot property💀awesome Jamiroquai reference
Architect was absent for the lens lecture... 🥴
I remember this like it was yesterday
Passs..Looks very overcooked 😏😏🥺

BLOODY HELL 92° CELSIUS
Bloody indeed
Epic glass box fail!
This building ruined central london. Absolutely disgusting to look at.
Funny how the guy in the background us trying to light a candle with a magnifying glass
Why are they wearing suits?!
This was pre pandemic, people had standards back then....
It's a bloody desert in the middle of an oasis 😂
wooooooah Im watching this in 2021 and just... thank god that wasn't 2020
Who came here after tiktok
198.68 degrees in fahrenheit
So that's what a blight looks like.
its good, when it is hot in general cold and rainy london.
Why those humans aren't melting 🙃

Just paint the glasses to black...
It will only make it hotter. What they should do instead is make the building non-reflective
@@liselottehildegarde5367 If it is black, it absorbs more of the light, so it doesn't heat up as much or something
@@counterfeit1148 The correct sentence would be " Dark colors absorb a lot more heat than lighter ones because they absorb more light energy thus making it hotter." Go read this article

Black is the ultimate heat absorber. It absorbs all light on the visual spectrum, creating a void of light. As a result of absorbing all light wavelengths, black is the hottest possible color. White is the opposite.
Hothouse Effect
Black houses will absorb more heat from the sun than white houses. A white or light-colored house will reflect more rays, keeping indoor temperatures cooler in hot summer months.
@@liselottehildegarde5367 The building absorbs most of the heat and doesn't reflect it onto the street

The owners of that building cannot stomach having to tear down the building to begin again... hundreds of millions of u s dollars at stake, my guess. They must be facing a class action lawsuit... and political pressure, right? Now imagine communication towers and invisible radio energy... when architects and engineers makke mistakes...
