UK - London - Intense heat & light hotspot from Walkie Talkie building

The intensive glare of solar rays reflected off the concave plate glass windows of one of the capital's newest skyscrapers known as the Walkie Talkie. The hotspot has surprised developers and passers-by below and which has already melted a parked car in Eastcheap Street. Thermometers placed in the street reached 144F (62 celcius) and city workers poured out of their offices at lunchtime to experience the intense light and heat.
