In the early 1970's when the ("new") John Hancock Tower was just completed, an engineering flaw caused it to lose many glass panes (4 foot by 11 foot lights, weighing 500 pounds each!), resulting in drastic changes in stack pressure. Even when the window was not lost but the seal...
When it was first built in 1947, the original John Hancock Insurance tower (now known as the Berkeley Building) was the only "skyscraper" in the city of Boston.
