A Skyscraper That Melts Cars
Yep, you read that right. The “Walkie Talkie” located in London made headlines when it melted a Jaguar that was parked across from it due to the sun’s reflection. It cost more than $1,000 to fix the Jaguar, but that wasn’t the end of the damages caused by the building’s glare. Nearby businesses said windows actually cracked from the heat, which forced the $250-million-dollar skyscraper to spend an unannounced amount on fitting a massive sunshade to its side facing the south. In an interview with the BBC, the car’s owner, Mr. Lindsay, talked about the damage to his car. He said the Jaguar badge, wing mirror, and panels had been badly melted. “You can’t believe something like this would happen,” he commented.

A Rare 1870s Guitar Is Destroyed
Back in 2015, Kurt Russell co-starred with Jennifer Jason Leigh in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. There is one scene in the film where Russell grabs the vintage guitar that Leigh is playing and smashes it to pieces. Russell had no idea the guitar was a museum piece worth $40,000. The guitar was supposed to be switched out for a cheap dummy in the middle of the scene, but production forgot. The museum was really incensed and they’ve since stopped lending any items out. Talking to Billboard, Leigh said, “When Kurt found out, his eyes literally welled up. It ended up being great for the scene.”
