London newspaper City AM reports that the skyscraper at 20 Fenchurch Street - commonly known as "the Walkie-Talkie" - has damaged several vehicles parked close to it by melting them with the sun's rays.
The problem is that one side of the Walkie-Talkie - which is still under construction - is effectively a giant curved mirror.So when the sun is in the right position, the building focuses the light into one spot creating a potentially car-melting beam of intense heat.
