In a series of recent reports, Professor Doug Perovic (MSE), discusses possible explanations for recent “glass bombs” that have left pedestrians in the city of Toronto scrambling for cover.

The U of T engineer said it will take at least several weeks to determine the cause of the exploding glass that keeps falling from residential buildings. But circumstantial evidence points to faulty glass rather than improper installation.

“If it was bad installation, this would only happen on a really hot day, which (Monday) wasn’t,” Perovic said. “And with it happening throughout the city with different railing systems, it is likely bad glass.”
