Still an impressively large machine, I imagine! Last night I was reading a book describing the old WTC towers- they had 7 of those 7000 ton chillers down in their basement.
In One New York's case, after that chiller blew, they had to keep it contained and let it burn itself out- apparently the titanium rods in it were burning at almost 5000 degrees, and if they tried to put water on it, it could have caused a second explosion. NOT good!
Edit- I found this- specs for the building:

Apparently she uses east river water for cooling!
