Bringing the roof down

@gogogo

funny how mainstream (lame stream) media outlets won’t hesitate to grab unattributed and unpaid sources from Social Media, yet the second any of their material gets shared/referenced/edited they’re ready to go all Weird Al “imma sue”...

Glass is not "brittle." Glass is quite rigid. The failure was the structure holding the glass in place. It twisted and that's what broke the glass, which is tempered and intended to shatter into smallish pieces.

After watching the video it's a miracle no one was injured, there were a couple of people right next to the falling glass!

Perhaps now they realise what a stupid idea it was.

"Social media" is not a credit, you need to credit the actual person that took the video if Reuters actually cared.

I was just there this morning. I was surprised to see the amount of glass and other debris on the floor. I guess a huge mostly glass building wasn't such a good idea after all.
