New London skyscraper inadvertently becomes death ray

A new skyscraper being built in London has been dubbed the "Walkie Talkie" due to its overall appearance. But the building's mirrored exterior, combined with the parabolic arc of its curves, may have accidentally created a death ray on those rare days when the sun comes out in London. The owner of a Jaguar which had been parked in the Walkie Talkie's death ray range is suing the building for having melted his car.
