The ESB's management has always been jealous of skyline competition. In the late 60's they went to great lengths to oppose the Twin Towers' construction. The irony is that the ESB itself was a "blatant intrusion" into the skyline supremacy of other nearby tall gems such as Chrysler and the Metropolitan Life Tower.
