Not quite so dramatic. Or maybe more so if you were walking beneath.
Hancock II was designed with a glass façade. While under construction in the
early 70's they discovered that the glass used at the higher levels of the
building was not up to the wind load and was falling from the building. It
was all removed, replaced temporarily with plywood and new glass specified
and put in place. Building 19, a distressed merchandise vendor had a lot of
fun selling the removed glass through their outlets. They weren't allowed
to say where the glass was from, but alluded to it in so many varied and
humorous ways. Because of the temporary plywood it got nicknamed "Plywood
Ranch" which was a lumber vendor at the time.

Then again, the newer Hancock was known as the Plywood Ranch when
its windows were falling out.

I went to meeting in Boston last week. Pedaling in the fitness room
after dinner and saw this view out the window. Got my E-P1 from the
room, shut off the lights in the fitness room and shot through the
glass.
