London Skyscraper That Melts Cars And Fries Eggs by Tolzeal(m): 12:12am On Sep 06, 2013


An uncompleted London skyscraper is at the center of freak reports of melting cars parked near it. One of the cars damaged by the 37-storey "Walkie-Talkie" skyscraper which is due to be completed next year is a Jaguar XJ belonging to businessman Martin Lindsay who returned to find his luxury ride haddeveloped warped panels along one side as well as a melted wing mirror and car
badge.



Blinding rays of sunlight deflected from the building located on Fenchurch Street in the City of London are being held responsible for the disintegrating vehicles and their contents. A motorist found a pack of crisps that was inside his parked car had melted to into a hardform while a journalist successfully fried an egg on the pavement with the projected heat which reached 92.6 F (33.7C).







Omelette on the pavement as tiles also come off in the heat
The skyscraper is still being built and the developers are trying to find a way of sorting out the problem by putting up cladding and scaffolding to cover the area of pavement on Eastcheap where the Jaguar melted.

An official statement said: "The phenomenon is caused by the current elevation of the sun in the sky. It currently lasts for approximately two hours per day, with initial modelling suggesting that it will be present for approximately 2-3 weeks".

It can't melt human beings; it will fry them them. But humans can't be affected because we have the common sense to avoid that area unlike non living things. Can you survive such heat if you were tied there for 5 hours?

Doesn't this pose as some sort of health hazard, or something?

I expect to read scientific interpretations in the comments but tah!! This is just what you get when you bring a magnifying glass out in the Sun. The rays of the sunlight are simply been converged and what do you have, heat which directly heat or melt anything in the area of convergence.


grin grin grin..Like all comments above, if it were to be in Nigeria, the headline would have been "Mysterious building that melts iron".
