suprised that London gets enough sun for that to be an issue in the first place

I'm 90% certain not building a death ray is architecture 101

The fact that the architects and/or engineers didn’t realize those things could happen? I would never walk into that building.

I don't understand how engineers don't think about things like this. There must have been several engineers working on that building. I guess everything is planned and measured and what could happen is determined. Could the sun reflect off the windows and so on. I guess it's all calculated. I don't understand. Were they done by unprofessional people or what?
