Bridgewater Place in Leeds, sometimes called the Dalek, has faced even more serious wind-related issues. Due to its shape, prevailing winds hitting the tower were channeled down its side, which resulted in ground-level wind speeds of up to eighty miles per hour. In 2011, a truck was lifted and flipped over by these winds, tragically crushing a pedestrian in the process. People walking down the sidewalk have been knocked down and injured as well.
