**the Hanncock can blast light on it's antenna's and light a ring around it's top floor but Vista can't light it's blow-thru which is above all other buildings nearby? Give me a break.
Are you aware that the blowthrough floor on the Vista is the result of an engineering mistake? Name 5 buildings in the US taller than Vista that didn't need a blowthrough hole. I'll wait. People celebrating such a huge mistake in building design, one that drastically interrupts the flow of the originally intended design, is so bizarre.
