Under construction skyscraper on Fenchurch Street in London was the cause of a strong reflection of sunlight. It was so strong that it melted part of Jaguar XJ parked nearby, ee24.com informs with reference to the British media.
Martin Lindsay parked on Eastcheap, in the City of London. Returning to the Jaguar after a couple of hours, he found that parts of the car, such as side mirror, panels and an icon, were simply melted. "I could not believe it! And on the windshield was a note from the construction company, in which they asked me to contact them," Lindsey told.
Responsible for the construction of a skyscraper Walkie Talkie (which is due to its ability to process solar energy in common is called Walkie Scorchie) apologized to Mr. Lindsey and paid for repairs.
In a joint statement, the developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf said that they were concerned about the situation with the reflection of light and looked for a solution. The parking area in the City of London, which may be the most exposed to the action of reflected sunlight, have closed before the final clarification of the situation as a precautionary measure.
British media also point to other facts of "sabotage" skyscraper: residents complain about the damaged bicycles, products, and one of the journalists managed to fry eggs on the panels of one of the adjacent buildings.
