The first Fred I thought of was Dibnah when I saw the title. You've had an effect on my brain, Gosho. 
Other thoughts, I was going to make some comment about how I'll always call that building the Sears Tower, I don't care who owns it now. I flew between those spikes too many times in Windows' Flight Simulator.
There's just one problem with that. The Hancock Building has always been the Hancock Building. Apparently I've been confusing the Sears Tower (not Willis) with the Hancock Building for a very long time. Both have twin white spires at the top but the Sears Tower is a stepped building and less of a pyramid.

Another thought... Why does the BBC think that after one views a video on an article that the reader would automatically just want to go on to another story with the video autoplaying? 
I was rather confused as I watched the video before reading the story and when I stopped the next video playing the story had little to do with the video I just watched.

*I've flown.
I actually have no excuse as did two previews before I posted the above and the very second that the post displayed my eye was drawn right to "I flew".

I'm getting pissed off with the playlist pop-up/preview of upcoming stuff that you have no interest in. It's one reason why I hate the new Google Maps, and I'm not looking forward to the day the old one gets turned off, because every time you go to Street View now, they automatically assume you want to look at look at photos of the place, and you have to hide the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen so that you can get on with looking at the actual view of the street.
No, I don't want to look at the pretty pictures people have taken. If I do, I'll ask.
And as far as I can tell there's no way to turn it off
