I just walked through it and a reporter said it was 41 degrees there. He claimed it was currently the hottest place in Europe. I saw the half eaten egg sandwich too!
the law of unintended consequences .. the heat reflected from the building should be trapped to heat water to drive a giant turbine to power the nearby office blocks thus helping to save the human race from extinction in the giant flood which will surely follow when the polar ice melts due to the earth's atmosphere overheating caused by carbon emissions from conventional power stations ... and cattle farting
Reminds me of when President Obama was on Mythbusters and they did "can you sink a ship with sunlight"? Perhaps it could be converted to defend the river against attack.
THE city of London has begun using lethal death-rays to wipe out its human population.
Londoners became aware of the attack by their home city when the ‘Walkie Talkie’ skyscraper began blasting them with killer heat beams.
37-year-old accountant Nikki Hollis said: “I was queueing for the bus when the person next to me turned to ash.
“Suddenly the deadly death rays were everywhere. When a person got hit you could see their glowing skeleton for a moment before they disintegrated, like in a 50s sci-fi film.
“A big booming voice that seemed to rise up from the ground said, ‘Die, die, die!’”
Baker Tom Logan said: “I’ve long suspected that London was trying to kill me, with the cumulative effects of pollution, stress and a generally harrowing atmosphere.
“Oh well. I suppose psychotic buildings firing lethal beams of pure energy is another thing we’ll have to get used to, like the congestion charge and parking permits.”
Speaking via a mouth-like orifice in the Gherkin, London said: “I shall also be using flying manhole covers to decapitate you. And look out for London Bridge turning into a giant metal snake with sewage-dripping fangs.”
I've just walked past this, and had no idea what was going on. Loads of people looking up at the sky and camera crews all over the place. Then a bloke was frying an egg on the floor. As I walked past the egg-frying, I did feel a big wall of heat.

It took me a double-take as I thought that wasn't too bad. Then I realised it really was 70 CELCIUS!!
Starting to sound like a villainous weapon fron a Bond film! ;-)

All very bizarre
