Chinese Glass Bombs



Shanghai Skyscrapers

(Shanghai, China) Reportedly, high-rise building glass panes as large as three meters long are becoming dislodged from their moldings and falling to the street, creating personal injury and property damage risks.
Three separate incidents happened on the same day last month, causing the city to review regulations concerning high-rise glass maintenance. As it turns out, there are none.

Somehow so far the only victims have been cars, but this problem has the makings for a pretty gruesome headline.
Shanghai has an estimated 5,000 skyscrapers with glass-clad walls.
