Death on Oxford Street.

[Baby Huey]

Story on London news this evening regarding a bloke who tried to throw his girlfriend through the front window of a shop on Oxford St.

Tried 3 times before the window finally smashed. He died almost immediately after getting impaled on large shard of glass, she ended up with minor cuts and bruises.

Epic fail.

That is just nasty.

I thought it was Banana Republic's window? That's in Regents Street, isn't it?

I bet she's shattered by the ordeal.

Probably in a bit of pane too

She'll be in pieces!

At least the bloke brought his argument straight to the point.

Unless it was a decades old shop front, there shouldn't have been any shards anyway. Toughened safety glass will shatter, and laminated wouldn't have broken up into shards

I reckon the shop fitters might be getting a tap too.

Oh the wit of PH never fails even in a nasty death












On the other hand, I was in that very area/street last night having worked late and I was amazed at just how busy it is even in the early hours

Guy who's trying to beat up a girl falls foul of his own plan. I'd say that it's more 'just desserts' than 'nasty death'.

that reminds me...

Hello BG,

I've got a PVC double glazed bay window with one two small pull up windows at the top , and one of them has somehow got some moisture in it, mainly I supposed because I leave it open for fresh air when I'm on the PC, and I guess the rain fall over time has gotten in. Anyway, is there some way I can get rid of it without resorting to reglazing it?

Well, what's IN the shop. The exterior (incl windows) may have been unchanged for years.

Regardless, laminated/toughened glass isn't there to stop idiots getting impaled when they smash through it. It's there to improve security and isn't cheap so I would guess it's not as common as people think.

Brand new fit-out including frontage/windows etc. It's the flagship store for a big US clothing company.

But went for the cheap glass! Fair enough.

Are they legally obliged to fit laminated glass? Can laminated glass end up with a serrated edge (which is my guess).

Either way, it didn't shatter into a million pieces like in the movies then

Toughened glass shatters into tiny pieces(car side windows) laminated will not (windscreens).
