Indeed. The pipes inside didn't freeze...one look at this picture shows that and common sense should be enough to tell you that didn't happen lol. I mean, there wouldn't be icicles hanging off the balconies if the water managed to flow out of the building, because they'd only form if there was liquid water flowing.
The entire building is complete - including the insulation and heating systems - sans the typical interior finishing work. Heating is no doubt operational already, because they often run it during finishing construction touches to both test out the systems and keep the workers warm. So there's no way the pipes could have froze inside. There was definitely some sort of catastrophic failure most certainly due to construction problems which resulted in water pouring out of a pipe(s) and then flooding down the various floors and out the windows, where the cold temperatures outside froze it.

It started on the 18th floor.
I agree...I don't think the pipes froze. It was extremely warm when I was there. My unit was completely finished when I was there so I'm sure this will be a very costly fix - flooring, drywall, appliances, etc
