High Winds Cause Chaos in San Francisco's Financial District
TL;DR Summary
High winds in San Francisco are suspected of causing window failures at the Salesforce Tower and Millennium Tower, prompting the closure of a stretch of Mission Street as a precaution. Inspectors are examining multiple cracked or failed windows between the 11th and 30th floors of the Salesforce building and one window on the 49th floor of the Millennium Tower. The incidents have led to calls for new hearings on high-rise window safety. The Millennium Tower has had a history of problems with windows and was cited by building inspectors in 2020.
