[GG-1]

A "Structural Engineer" who doesn't know how to spell "facade"? Конечно ты. Надеюсь, погода хорошая в Москве Do you have any evidence the glass was "smashed out"? Maybe he only poked a small hole in the glass and the blast from breach blew out the rest... Curious if this was a safety glass that might hold together when broken - like a car window

One of my ex-girlfriends had an autistic son. We had to install window film that would prevent the glass from shattering (he would bang his head on anything close when triggered); it seemed pretty crazy to me when this first happened they wouldn’t have something similar. Cheap, and effective. Blunt force wouldn’t compromise the glass, but a piercing object(think pickaxe)would. With a decent film bullets would certainly penetrate but not break up the whole sheet of glass. I’m not suggesting anything other than the hotel not having something of that sort would baffle me.

Weren’t NONE of them EVER gonna win a spelling bee!

Car windowS don't.

The windshield does.
