Randy_Baton Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The glass didn't crack. Its goat a protective coating around it that is designed to crack to absorb impacts. The structural glass was fine, its just the protective coating doing its job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Even "unbreakable" glass will shatter when fired upon with a .50cal. It's all within a certain limit. Looking at the article and reading it, I would be cautious if I was one of four fat basterds...jus sayin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 when they replaced it did they remove the old pain of glass as none the work looks to have any fall arrests on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 when they replaced it did they remove the old pain of glass as none the work looks to have any fall arrests on ? Prolly suction cupped the old pane off, and since it's the top layer of multiple layers, they were never exposed to the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
