@ruscle2784 Yeah, and Greenpeace has frogmen capable of operating a mile down in the sea, but Halliburton, Transocean, and BP don't.

Get your head out of your axx and get a life!

@Toonami30 Possibly. The rain hit my windows about 2 blocks to the east at about 4:20 PM on a Friday. It was pretty scary. I can see sheets of rain coming down as the Chicago Board of Trade and the Tower loomed above me. It depends on whether these floors are occupied (the Sears Tower has been notoriously under-occupied) and if so, what industry the tennants are in. If they were early-morning traders, they might have all been gone.

Was there anybody in those offices when the windows were blown out?

What you talking 'bout Willis? Something else to worry about. When it rains, will there be sufficent winds that cause sufficent low pressures that cause the higher pressured office spaces to blow their windows out and down on the people walking below. Mother Nature just keeps complicating matters.

The window just found out all his investments went sour and he couldn't take it any longer.
