HSBC Tower

Height: 200m (655ft)
Floor count: 45 floors
Location: Canary Wharf, London
Architect: Sir Norman Foster
Constructed: 1999-2002
Interesting info: In May 2000 the top of a tower crane overturned and fell to the ground below. Three people died as a result - the erection supervisor, a member of the erection crew and the crane driver. No cause for the collapse was ever determined and no charges were brought to any party.
