My daughter was directly underneath the falling glass and debris. She still hasn’t recovered - it was terrifying. The boom was louder than a bomb, and she could see huge pieces of glass falling from the sky. People were running around crazy, into each other, knocking each other down. Even though 8 injuries were reported, that does not account for all the people who were trampled or those who did not accept ambulance services.
