How a skyscraper can melt a car

The new London skyscraper is causing cars to melt and buildings to start on fire. 17 hours ago a car melted from the skyscraper. The skyscrapers new design has melted parts of a nearby car across the street. The car was parked for an hour across the street. When he returned the panels and mirrors and other parts of his car were melted for the skyscraper. The 38 story building, also known as the walkie talkie is known for its unusual shape. The shape of the skyscraper is exactly what’s causing fires and melted cars. Because the building is concave the reflective glass focuses the sun's rays on a small part of the building. The building is currently being redone.
