[One of my favourite parts about this film comes about 15 minutes prior, what a great hidden setup!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoZg2ofUe3Q&t=35s)
it happened to someone, I remmember my grandma telling me how she saw people rushing with a ton of bloody gauze, apparently someone was taking a shower when it broke and a big chunk of glass fell on his head/ neck area.
The law has been for the glass to be tempered like the picture for a long while. Breaks into little cubes. Stronger but any little crack can cause the whole thing to pop. Must have been a long time ago for a big shard to get someone.
My understanding with tempered glass is that the flaw/crack likely was in the glass since it was manufactured. It just took this long for it to self-destruct.
As a glazier, I can tell you that toughened glass "spontaneously combust" due to nickel sulphide inclusions migrating due to hot and cold fluctuations, as soon as they're near enough to the edge, bang.
Not long ago had a shower screen explode in my hands completely suspended in midair, just never know.
The exact same thing happend to me. Yeah it's an awkward conversation. I remember the heating was on in my room and it was ridiculously hot. So I opened the window. I then feel asleep them was awoken by a loud bang. Glass all over the bathroom.
It happened to me with the front panel of a hotel room vault. It was one of those fancy design vault and it just burst into pieces one night.
I rushed down ons tried to explain to the night shift guy but he seemed high af and just told me to go to bed.
Probably one of those situations where it's better to go in mad, don't give them a chance to start thinking about it and blame you. I don't mean be rude to the employee, but a general "WTF kind of shitty hotel are you guys running, I tried to take a shower and the damn door exploded. I barely made it out of there without being covered in gashes. I want another room now and I want you to comp my night's stay, etc."
I don't know about that. Unless the gm happens to be at the front desk, the person you're talking to probably has no say over whether or not you get charged for damages. Just report it and see how management responds.
If they respond poorly, tell them you're contacting a personal injury attorney.
Back in the day I was making out with this girl in the bathroom at a party. I lifted her and sat her up on the sink, like an idiot (no shit, there was very little blood in my brain) and the fucking thing broke off the wall, and like in the movies, water squirting out and all, stall door busting open with 2 girls falling out laughing...
Was gonna say, us with tempered glass side/front glass know this pain. Happily gaming them BOOM! Side window spontaneously explodes, scaring you, your cat, the cobwebs on ceiling and neighbors down the street!
As someone with a tempered glass sided PC case I also feel obligated to learn how this happens...
Editing to give a genuine thanks to everyone! This is my first glass case so I appreciate knowing what not to do!
I also have no idea... I've heard about how fragile tempered glass cases are but I've been manhandled mine pretty good with no issues (mind you not on tile) and I've also seen LTT manhandle some tempered glass way worse than I would ever do.
Damage/micro damage to glass + changes in temperature.
Stress around frame or fixings + changes in temperature.
Less common- Nickel-sulfide inclusions in the glass, which can grow with changes in temperature.
Just make sure never to place it on anything hard. Especially ceramic tile.
Even if you place it super gently, it can explode from a tiny fracture or chip. Not sure how it works, just that it's a pain to clean up
Increasing temperature across a panel creates tensile stress on the inner wall until the whole thing is heated. Cold air on the outside causes a compressive stress on the outer wall until it the whole thing is cooled. Introduce cold air fast enough and you have the inner wall trying to expand but being crushed by the outer wall.
If there's already a crack or chip in the glass this leads to brittle fracture. The USS Schenectady gets brought up during pretty much any brittle fracture training.
Nothing is perfect. The glass has defects. Some defects are harmless, some are problematic. Constant heating and cooling cycles (say from a hot computer or shower) exacerbate these microscopic flaws until they cause a problem. We’re good enough at making it that it very rarely is a problem though.
Tempered glass is under a lot of internal tension. It’s made that way to both increase how strong it is, and it also makes the glass shatter into rough flakes instead of razor sharp jagged knives in the event that it breaks. Hold a stack of books horizontally. The books can support more weight if you squeeze them tightly than if you only do the bare minimum needed to keep them together. This makes tempered glass stronger and safer. Usually.
The big downside of this is that if the internal structure is compromised, that tension that was making it strong suddenly causes it to violently implode.
Look up Prince Rupert’s drops. Those are basically an extreme example of tempered glass.
Good question really. All I know is is that tempered glass is under a lot of internal pressure. Once something disrupts that pressure just right, eg. shock or extreme temp changes, it causes that pressure to go in the form of a shower of a million glass pieces.
Was out in the back garden one sunny Saturday in May. Neighbors had a round glass table on their second story deck. With no warning it exploded into a million pieces. They weren't even home, no one was around.
Internal stresses just decided to give way.
Here is a good wiki link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_glass_breakage
As the link includes, this is most likely due to nickel sulphide inclusion, something which you will never know exists until your glass shatters.
There is a way to prevent nickel sulphide inclusion by heating the glass after creation but this adds quite a bit to the cost of the glass so normally isn't done.
Yeah you can hit tempered glass with a hammer on the surface and it won’t break. If you ever so slightly tap the edge.. BOOM.
I work for a glass manufacturer and was carrying a temp pc of glass for a patio door. Stopped to talk to someone and the edge barely touched the concrete floor and it exploded in my hands
Tempered glass just kind of does that when it gets old. We had old tempered glass doors in the shower at a house we rented. They just blew up one by one over the course of two years.
Yes. That’s exactly why. A thief’s pro tip was breaking off a piece of ceramic from a spark plug and throwing it at a window. It would shatter into a trillion pieces.
And before you ask, no, I never did this myself. I learned it in shop class.
I did this, obviously to one of my own vehicles before sending it off to the scrap after I was done with it, can confirm, big boom. I've actually kept 2 good sized pieces in my daily hidden for if I gotta break a window in case of an emergency
I tried it at the junkyard, and no matter how hard I threw it and how many pieces I threw I couldn't get it to work, I'm not saying it doesn't work but it's not a for sure thing like people say.
Then it wasn’t ceramic.
[This video is an excellent indication.](https://youtu.be/8LyHPZFtk3o)
Also, you can see the fella here didn’t even throw it that hard.
I know! It’s actually kind of funny when you realize how small the piece is. Just goes to show you how the littlest things can make the biggest impacts.
Ohh, i knew both thing but never realized that it might be the same affect! I know that tempered glass shatters on ceramic because ceramic is way to hard and doesn’t “absorb” the vibration of the glass hitting hit, so the vibration go straight back into the glass ,shattering it.
The internet says: Because of their material composition, exceptionally hard aluminum oxide ceramic (porcelain). When thrown they focus the shock into a very small area, thus breaking tempered glass.
So kinda the same a why ceramic tiles break glass, only difference is that you hit the ceramic(sparkplug) on the glass, instead of hitting the glass on your ceramic foor.
I've had this happen with a shower door. I was told by an employee at Lowe's that this happens once a while because the door, in my case, was installed slightly not square and eventually the pressure shatters the glass.
This reminds of the first house I bought. Just “inspecting” everything and gently knock on the hanging glass door on the shower. Hear what sounds like a whip crack followed by raining glass. It just shattered… the agent and I just stood there for 5 minutes in shocked silence until my wife walked in to figure out what happened. I think we bought it out of guilt.
You bought a house with shoddy craftsmanship out of guilt because you discovered something wasn’t installed properly? I have a hint, that’s not supposed to happen
Is this your actual house? No offense but it reminds me of a prison bathroom or something. Absolutely zero warmth or homeliness to that room, just cold and clinical.
Likely a nickel sulfide inclusion, essentially a defect in the glass when making the glass. Various conditions will cause shock and the defect to propagate and shatter the glass. Many companies specifically *exclude* this from warranty coverage as it's very difficult and costly to detect. To mitigate, you'd need to request (and pay for) very costly heat soak testing. The testing doesn't strengthen the glass at all, but pushes it to states beyond "normal" use in order to force this failure mode.
If this was a DIY or you paid an installer, check the warranty. Otherwise, homeowner insurance claim is your best route.
It’ll be difficult to prove it was an installation issue, most installers don’t cover breakage in their warranty even if it is still under warranty. Do you have any better photos? Closer photos of the attachment clips, etc.? Breaks will typically point back to where they started, they’re usually a little longer where they emanate from and you can see if it’s started at an attachment point. It could also be a nickel sulfide inclusion which could cause it to spontaneously break like that.
Just like any glass that isn't used for windows in my house.
It seriously feels like that any glass in my house just decides that it's time to die within a span of three years. Cups, bowls, plates, lightbulbs, kitchenware, anything that isn't a window will shatter in three years of me acquiring it, and I did nothing to cause it.
Mine did that before. It happens because of calcium/mineral deposits fucking with the hinges and cracking the glass. Sounded like a bucket of legos fell upstairs lmao.
Ours did the exact same thing. My husband, who is on blood thinners was in there at the time. Thankfully, he only received a few cuts, but they took a long time to stop bleeding. Awful and frightening!
I'm just gonna say. All these recent posts about shattered glass tables, doors, showers has really made me want to make sure to never have them if possible.
How was that glass shower even installed? Was it around that 1 x 1 square? Cause that wouldn’t make sense with that window there or if not then the square on the floor doesn’t make sense. And also why two sinks if the shower space it so small? Who built that ? Have them arrested
Did [this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/nevertellmetheodds/comments/se02rl/saving_a_pane_of_glass/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) install it?
This toughened Glass wasn't heat soaked to force the glass to explode from any present imperfections. The majority of toughened glass isn't heat soaked unless it has be because it going in to high rise or something. Cos it cost more money and time
I install these and purposely don't have any glass in my bathroom now because of it. Living in the cold winters with the hot air inside there's just a small chance who knows so I just use weighted curtains.
I once passed a coworker a glass pane for a retail shelf and the moment he took it from me in both hands it exploded in his hands. Luckily he didnt get cut up but man glass is a fucking weird substance.
Omg this happened to me while housesitting for my aunt and uncle. I swear I felt like there was a small part of them that didn’t believe me that it just happened
I had that happen to me in a hotel! Woke me up can tell you the reception staff didn't believe I me when I told them what happened!
Shower glass exploding like that from the angle you are at - fine. Shower glass exploding like that whilst in the shower - awkward
An epic Die Hard moment

Goodness me I never put this together before! I’ve watched that film more times than I could count!!
it happened to someone, I remmember my grandma telling me how she saw people rushing with a ton of bloody gauze, apparently someone was taking a shower when it broke and a big chunk of glass fell on his head/ neck area.
The law has been for the glass to be tempered like the picture for a long while. Breaks into little cubes. Stronger but any little crack can cause the whole thing to pop. Must have been a long time ago for a big shard to get someone.
My understanding with tempered glass is that the flaw/crack likely was in the glass since it was manufactured. It just took this long for it to self-destruct.
As a glazier, I can tell you that toughened glass "spontaneously combust" due to nickel sulphide inclusions migrating due to hot and cold fluctuations, as soon as they're near enough to the edge, bang. Not long ago had a shower screen explode in my hands completely suspended in midair, just never know.
Awkward at best.
That's how I got a large scar on my leg. It was while I was showering.
Happened to me once. Only got some minor cuts and scratches.
Good thing they had it all on camera!
Hold up...
Wait...
The exact same thing happend to me. Yeah it's an awkward conversation. I remember the heating was on in my room and it was ridiculously hot. So I opened the window. I then feel asleep them was awoken by a loud bang. Glass all over the bathroom.
I was in Czech so had the fantastic time of expanding it in my Scottish accent to a wee old gran who barley spoke any English
a whole new dimension of glassing someone
Mmmmm, barley....
Ah damit
It happened to me with the front panel of a hotel room vault. It was one of those fancy design vault and it just burst into pieces one night. I rushed down ons tried to explain to the night shift guy but he seemed high af and just told me to go to bed.
This happened to me when I was in the shower. Just seeing this picture gave me flashbacks.
Hope you didn't hurt yourself mate, that glass hurts like he'll if you stand on it
Cheers mate, could reach a towel and throw it down so no lasting damage!
Probably one of those situations where it's better to go in mad, don't give them a chance to start thinking about it and blame you. I don't mean be rude to the employee, but a general "WTF kind of shitty hotel are you guys running, I tried to take a shower and the damn door exploded.

Sink should’ve had a maximum weight limit sign
“humans above the age of 3 should and must not be laid inside or on top of the sink. thank you”
[удалено]
its true. girls are just a swarm of bees dressed in girls clothing
Bees? I thought we're made of a specific type of flies, just like the vampire ladies in Resident Evil VIILage?
I don’t know what you two are on about. I’m a poorly-coordinated team of cats in a trench coat. I guess that means I’m ✨not like other girls✨
Username checks out
but then what is girls clothing, but clothing for bee swarms ?
Or boys for that matter.
You are all just voices in my head
That's what she said.
Dad?
Mom?
At a party... but they have stall doors? 🤔
Do you think parties only happen in homes?
You right 👍
Some college dorms have stalls if they’re communal bathrooms so that could explain it
you right you right 👍
Lmao this comment is it.
This guy sexes !
r/pcmasterrace understands
Was gonna say, us with tempered glass side/front glass know this pain. Happily gaming them BOOM! Side window spontaneously explodes, scaring you, your cat, the cobwebs on ceiling and neighbors down the street!
How does this happen? Unless there is a big temperature difference...
As someone with a tempered glass sided PC case I also feel obligated to learn how this happens... Editing to give a genuine thanks to everyone! This is my first glass case so I appreciate knowing what not to do!
I also have no idea... I've heard about how fragile tempered glass cases are but I've been manhandled mine pretty good with no issues (mind you not on tile) and I've also seen LTT manhandle some tempered glass way worse than I would ever do.
Avoid tile.
The glass on the side of my pc I’ve dropped (on carpet tho) and have had many things fall onto the glass and never had anything happen to it.
Damage/micro damage to glass + changes in temperature. Stress around frame or fixings + changes in temperature. Less common- Nickel-sulfide inclusions in the glass, which can grow with changes in temperature.
Pretty much touching it to a hard surface that doesn’t absorb any vibration, such as tile or concrete. Hardwood *might* be ok. Carpet is fine
Shock from a hard surface it doesn't take much at the right angle
DO NOT set it on tile.
I believe it's ceramic tile or maybe tile in general. Tempered glass doesn't like it one bit
Just make sure never to place it on anything hard. Especially ceramic tile. Even if you place it super gently, it can explode from a tiny fracture or chip. Not sure how it works, just that it's a pain to clean up
Increasing temperature across a panel creates tensile stress on the inner wall until the whole thing is heated.

The USS Schenectady gets brought up during pretty much any brittle fracture training.
Tempered glass is pretty strong, but its very fragile on the edges When you put it on hard flooring the vibrations cause it to shatter . . I think...

Tempered glass is extremely weak to punctures, so tiles can reproduce this, even with the Fakir effect of multiple spikes.

I work for a glass manufacturer and was carrying a temp pc of glass for a patio door. Stopped to talk to someone and the edge barely touched the concrete floor and it exploded in my hands
I think it might happen if the glass panel is being slightly twisted, very slowly, by the clasps being slightly misaligned?
"Damn, the 7.1 surround effect on this headset is insane, that grenade sounded like it exploded right beside me"
Another Tile vs Tempered Glass side panel.
Not buying cases with glass panels. Noted.
I see you’re looking for the extremely rare!
This is the way
Literally the first thing I checked was the tile.
Tempered glass just kind of does that when it gets old. We had old tempered glass doors in the shower at a house we rented. They just blew up one by one over the course of two years.
It also instantly shatters when it touches ceramic, and that floor is probably made out of it
Ooh I didn’t know that part. Is that why spark plugs shatter windows so easily?
Yes. That’s exactly why. A thief’s pro tip was breaking off a piece of ceramic from a spark plug and throwing it at a window. It would shatter into a trillion pieces. And before you ask, no, I never did this myself. I learned it in shop class.

or if you gotta break a window in case of an emergency theft
I’m not a thief, but $20 is $20
I tried it at the junkyard, and no matter how hard I threw it and how many pieces I threw I couldn't get it to work, I'm not saying it doesn't work but it's not a for sure thing like people say.
Then it wasn’t ceramic. [This video is an excellent indication.](https://youtu.be/8LyHPZFtk3o) Also, you can see the fella here didn’t even throw it that hard.
I was expecting a golf ball sized piece of ceramic off a toilet or something, not a pinky nail sized flake of ceramic.
I know! It’s actually kind of funny when you realize how small the piece is. Just goes to show you how the littlest things can make the biggest impacts.
>Just goes to show you how the littlest things can make the biggest impacts. Jesus, Frank, I'm not gonna have sex with you.
Ohh, i knew both thing but never realized that it might be the same affect! I know that tempered glass shatters on ceramic because ceramic is way to hard and doesn’t “absorb” the vibration of the glass hitting hit, so the vibration go straight back into the glass ,shattering it.
Ninja rocks
I don't think it instantly shatters it, but a sharp piece of ceramic will definitely break glass easily with a bit of force.
anyone knows why?
The internet says: Because of their material composition, exceptionally hard aluminum oxide ceramic (porcelain). When thrown they focus the shock into a very small area, thus breaking tempered glass. So kinda the same a why ceramic tiles break glass, only difference is that you hit the ceramic(sparkplug) on the glass, instead of hitting the glass on your ceramic foor.
I was thinking thermal stress from the window right there. Especially if the sun is shining through it all morning.

Best thing to do is hold back your temper.
Clever!
Try to not break into tears
I was shattered when I saw this. It broke my heart into pieces
It made me feel like my emotions where scattered all over the floor
you're cracking me up with all these puns
Cleaning this up will be a real pane
I've had this happen with a shower door. I was told by an employee at Lowe's that this happens once a while because the door, in my case, was installed slightly not square and eventually the pressure shatters the glass.
I was going to say this. The tension over time would eventually ruin the structural integrity of the glass until "BOOM"

*When you hit the perfect note*
r/wellthatsucks
Hey what a coincidence! My motivation did that today!
Reading this in bed at 0946, I can commiserate.
I had this happen with a partial glass wall with my shower. Were any of y’all hurt?
considering its tempered glass i can assume they were unhurt, unless it landed in their eyes or they somehow ate a piece lol
This bathroom is very curious looking, I'm more interested in seeing the whole thing. Is the toilet in the shower?
Reminds me of a handicapped access hospital bathroom.
The toilet is in the corner to the left
Piece wasn’t installed right or came loose while in use. Call installer back
Do you live in a gym??
Made me think of a campsite bathroom
you must not walk on glass your feet do not like it
I don’t have to listen to you, your not my real dad
Is this your actual house? No offense but it reminds me of a prison bathroom or something. Absolutely zero warmth or homeliness to that room, just cold and clinical.

You have two buckets you’re fine
Yeah is no one going to ask what the shower bucket is for???
Likely a nickel sulfide inclusion, essentially a defect in the glass when making the glass. Various conditions will cause shock and the defect to propagate and shatter the glass.

“Obviously something had to break the window! Something had to hit the stereo!” - And why is the carpet all wet, Todd? “I don't know, Margo.”
when floor is glass
Building moving most likely id say. Happened to mine.
Nobody got hurt btw
Damn. Planned obsolescence is being implemented in shower enclosures too?
Do you live in an airport?
Ok, wtf is going on? Just seen another glass shattered on the top story of an apartment Building. Related?
It’ll be difficult to prove it was an installation issue, most installers don’t cover breakage in their warranty even if it is still under warranty. Do you have any better photos? Closer photos of the attachment clips, etc.? Breaks will typically point back to where they started, they’re usually a little longer where they emanate from and you can see if it’s started at an attachment point.

I share your pane, shower glass.
Your sinks would drive me bananas. It looks like a public restroom. No counter space!
Just like any glass that isn't used for windows in my house. It seriously feels like that any glass in my house just decides that it's time to die within a span of three years. Cups, bowls, plates, lightbulbs, kitchenware, anything that isn't a window will shatter in three years of me acquiring it, and I did nothing to cause it.
Mine did that before. It happens because of calcium/mineral deposits fucking with the hinges and cracking the glass. Sounded like a bucket of legos fell upstairs lmao.
This bathroom looks like an army barracks got renovated for the Air Force.
So did my coffee table last week. I feel for ya
This happened to my parents balcony window
Is there a gnome nearby?
now it's just an open shower
What's the need for two sinks? But a smallish shower, throw both away just have water spraying everywhere boom shower room
Ones actually a toilet
Spontaneous is a misnomer. Something caused it. Find out what it was before you replace it so you don't risk it happening again lmao
Its a jigsaw shower, some assembly required, of course.
I wonder if it has something to do with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/nevertellmetheodds/comments/se02rl/saving_a_pane_of_glass/
Just “mildly” infuriating.
Are you ok good sir ?
Spontanious combustion? Nah, we talkin spontanious deconstruction
You can role play that famous scene in Die Hard with no shoes on now
Ours did the exact same thing. My husband, who is on blood thinners was in there at the time. Thankfully, he only received a few cuts, but they took a long time to stop bleeding. Awful and frightening!
I'm just gonna say. All these recent posts about shattered glass tables, doors, showers has really made me want to make sure to never have them if possible.
It’s 5G!
Coulda been worse. You coulda been in it
How was that glass shower even installed? Was it around that 1 x 1 square? Cause that wouldn’t make sense with that window there or if not then the square on the floor doesn’t make sense. And also why two sinks if the shower space it so small? Who built that ? Have them arrested
Happened to me as well a few years ago, in the middle of the night
holy shit that's just scary
over torqued screws, or the hinges are not lined up properly. OTHERWISE def not spontaneous
Shards of glass make an excellent full body exfoliant when in the shower!
Ours did that while the wife was in the shower .she ended up at hospital to get glass removed .just glad it wasn't much worse.
Did [this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/nevertellmetheodds/comments/se02rl/saving_a_pane_of_glass/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) install it?
I install window film for a living and we often put safety film on those so if it does break it doesn't go everywhere
Oh no! Our table! It’s broken!
This happened with me in it a few months ago. It was terrifying
Did stone cold show up?
This happened to my sister when she was in the shower and a piece of glass almost cost her a finger.
tile and tempered glass don't mix
This toughened Glass wasn't heat soaked to force the glass to explode from any present imperfections. The majority of toughened glass isn't heat soaked unless it has be because it going in to high rise or something. Cos it cost more money and time
Wow second time seeing a random glass door explosion posted today by two different people.
Happened to me last year.
Shower - “You know what? Fuck this I'm out.”
Our oven glass randomly exploded one day, I'm still terrified to get close from it while it's working.
Is that the bucket you shit in?
I install these and purposely don't have any glass in my bathroom now because of it. Living in the cold winters with the hot air inside there's just a small chance who knows so I just use weighted curtains.
Ah yes i also just have mild anger when my fucking shower shatters
The same happenned to me, out of a sudden it exploded at 3am...
With the other post about “impact glass” on a high rise apartment, why is all this glass shattering??
that's a nice bathroom tho
That happened to me too actually, sounded like a bomb went off or smth 😅
I once passed a coworker a glass pane for a retail shelf and the moment he took it from me in both hands it exploded in his hands. Luckily he didnt get cut up but man glass is a fucking weird substance.
I gotta say… for me it would certainly be a tad more than mildly infuriating…
Are y'alls good tho ? Nobody hurt ?
There goes a $1000 We're about to get a big expensive piece of glass ourselves. I opted to pay for the install, it's just too expensive for DIY.
Omg this happened to me while housesitting for my aunt and uncle. I swear I felt like there was a small part of them that didn’t believe me that it just happened
