You're right. Consider it a bonus of cool non-HVAC stuff falling from rooftops. (This building had their exterior HVAC equipment at ground level a short distance to the west of the building.) Here is the cell antenna discovering gravity: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5upm9ZhqJ3Jg2Q.html

The RCA building was an iconic part of the Rosslyn skyline. I remember it from my childhood being so imposing and modern. Years later - would they save it? No. The demand to extract as much money as possible has Arlington re-making itself much the same as Las Vegas. But there's a reason - The views of D.C. from there are absolutely spectacular! With that, I still remain hopeful that they will spare the original Rosslyn Marriott. It was one of the first J.W. Marriott hotels and I believe was built on the land where the original Hot Shoppes was. From the original Watergate clandestine parking garage to the Marriott and Orleans House, that part of Arlington has a very rich history. I am glad to have been to all those places when they were active.
