This Building was damaged by straight line winds. Sad situation, Its already cuased 1.5 million dollars in damage to some of the surrounding buildings caused by falling debris. They say that the structure is stable and the good news is that the building is repairable. I'll update as more is available.

probably a result of having a square corner?
maybe it caused a suction effect on this side as the wind sped around the edge?
maybe more skyscrapers should have rounded corners? ie. hsbc tower in canary wharf london? - not that it's an amazing skyscraper. Just an oblong with rounded corners...
