Lonely Planet review for John Hancock Tower

Constructed with more than 10,000 panels of mirrored glass, the 62-storey John Hancock Tower offers an amazing perspective on Trinity Church, often reflected in its façade. Designed in 1976 by Henry Cobb, the tower suffered serious initial problems: when the wind whipped up, some panes popped out, falling hundreds of feet to the ground. Fortunately, the panes were replaced and the design problem fixed before anyone was hurt. The top-floor observatory was closed for security reasons in the aftermath of September 11.
