Is there something newsworthy about shattered tempered glass? Important enough to post it here? "Glass" does break ya know.

Isn't it ironic that you are the self-professed "glass expert" and you are booing at a post about glass?

To me, and I do not claim to be a glass expert, for a bus stop with shattered glass (probably from vandalism) at the capitol of the once-great United States of America is one of many examples of disorder showing its imminent collapse.

45 years now of architectural glass all over the planet and 2 lower degrees and a PH.D of Material Sciences of Glass Engineering from Manchester University. My post not snooty at all if you had ANY idea about how much glass is busted all over the world every day. There are quite a variety of causes for tempered to break and vandals just one and broken glass no matter where just does not strike me as newsworthy.

You are entitled to your opinion, but for me with no expert glass credentials, I thought it was an unusual sight because I can't recall ever seeing this in person before. Vandalism seems to be getting worse. If it had not been at the nation's capitol, I would not have shared it.

OK how about we call this to a draw. Broken glass or busted glass is as common as shit to the sidewalks in San Fran and can and will happen to neighborhoods low level, medium to schwanky. Everywhere. Usually only makes any news when people are injured or killed by it which is a death event of around 1x per week somewhere to USA.
