Is it plate glass or bad 35 year old tempered glass?
BART POLICE PUT MANS HEAD THROUGH WINDOW (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBFjP-GV8BE#normal)
Hm...
*Types a bunch of stuff, looks at it, erases it*
I got nothin'. :P
Plate glass.
Tempered glass fractures into thousands of tiny pieces.

yeah it sure broke like plate.
Plate glass.
My tempered glass desk shattered this spring (as I nervously type this - and work daily - on the replacement glass). Nothing like that window.
Tempered would not have busted from that hit at all. I help my folks do a bathroom reno. We took the tempered glass shower and big chunks of cultured marble from the 10' double sink counter to the dump. I dragged the doors out of the truck and dumped them on a small pile - then proceeded to bombard them with 5-20 pound rocks hurled, soccer throw-in style, from the back of the truck. They took a number of direct hits, perhaps a half dozen or more each, before shattering.
While some people are jumping up and down about excessive force on the part of BART Police. I don't see that going anywhere. What I do see is potential liability because of having plate glass in that pane when it's supposed to be tempered. I'm not sure what the standard was in 1972 but I suspect that tempered should have been used.
Sounds like plate from the sound ~

who cares? maybe people will stop being idiots if they knew not to phuc with police.

Don't count on it.
some local glass contractor just got a healthy city bid to replace all that plate glass. ;)

Does this reasoning follow the same line as "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about" ? :P
