A LACK OF TOOLS??????????????????????????????
Idiot "architect" Viñoly has designed TWO death ray buildings, one in London and one in Vegas. Both of them are concave parabolas. Both of them burn people and melt things at the focus of the parabola.
Ready for this?
"I knew this was going to happen," he said of London's skyscraper. "But there was a lack of tools or software that could be used to analyze the problem accurately ... When it was spotted on a second design iteration, we judged the temperature was going to be about 36 degrees [Celcius]. But it's turned out to be more like 72 degrees. They are calling it the 'death ray,' because if you go there you might die. It is phenomenal, this thing."A LACK OF TOOLS?????????????? JECIUS H FUCKING CHRIST. Appropriate cussing since Jecius, teller of parables, understood the matter better than Idiot Viñoly. Parabolas were well known in 200 fucking BC, and parabolic mirrors were used as ship-burning 'death rays' around the same time. Absolutely no excuse for this. Especially no excuse for the idiots who hired Idiot Viñoly the SECOND time to build a death ray, AFTER the dangerous results of his FIRST death ray were already known. Even accepting idiot Viñoly's excuse, 36 degrees Celcius (98 Fahcenheit) should already have been bad enough to abandon the whole design. 98F probably won't melt plastic, but temps in that range can certainly burn skin.
