Reply to comment by Direct_Ad18 in Why does the contrasting color (stone?) not go all the way up? Was this really the original design or did they cut costs half way up? by extraORD1NARYmachine

I love that: disappear into the sky, sounds poetic. Except when they blast 300 megawatts lights from the roof top every night.

I knew the lights were an issue for a while - I live nearby - but I thought they fixed that. I thought I heard that was an issue with a sensor or some?

Yeah something along those lines. Basically there’s two kinda of lights for buildings that big. The red evening ones weren’t working and they had these daytime ones on which made it look like a light house at nighht. There’s actually some funny YouTube video/ recordings about pilots being able to see it from a ways away.
