The Dark Tower?

More news from the apocalypse: The Chicago skyline on Tuesday night looked “downright ominous,” reported the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday as the famed Willis Tower continued to suffer power loss.
The building has been making news recently as Aon PLC’s plans to purchase Willis Towers Watson PLC does not include what it plans to do with the tower’s name.
On Tuesday, following two days of record-setting rainstorms that flooded the 110-story skyscraper’s basement, what many Chicagoans still call the “Sears Tower” had lost its twinkling lights, causing social media commentators to call the entire scene “creepy,” according to the newspaper.
As of Wednesday, onlookers remained on the dark side of when the lights would go back on — power crews are working on it, according to a ComEd spokesperson — and what the tower’s new name shall be once the purchase of one of the country’s largest insurance brokerages is complete.
