That is not good...

J P Morgan Chase Tower is the tallest multifaceted building in the globe. This 75 storied tower is also the tallest building in Texas with a height of 1002 feet. Built in Downtown Houston at Travis Street this tower was originally known as the ‘Texas Commerce Tower’. The spectacular tower was designed by renowned architects I.M. Pei & Partners.

It is the also the world’s tallest five-sided building. During the construction stage the original plan was for 80 stories but due to fear of creating a hindrance to the nearby Airport and planes, this plan was shelved. After the tower was completed it took over the Aon Center tower in Los Angeles as the tallest in that area.

Thanks for the info about the JP Morgan Chase building. The photos of the damage were impressive. The report further indicated some other faces of the building are completely intact.
