This isn't really a 90 degree turn. The photo is just taken from an angle that makes it look that way.

It's more like 120 degrees which is still bad.

I think i would call that a 60 degree a turn. A 120 degree turn would be quite something!

nothing like the 180 degree turn on having designs signed by multiple parties and then getting suspended for having it built, likely by the same parties.

Yes you're quite right. I clearly need my morning coffee.
