Safety Glass.
This is the bolt that sheared off the axle of an 18 wheeler, and into the window of our car - in front of M's face - as we drove last Saturday to see A play soccer in Lafayette. I was reading the newspaper, so only heard the bang of it. Powdered glass coated the dash, the seats, us, and shards flew into M's coffee cup, stuck to our clothes. I can't think too long about this; it's like the windshield caught a bullet in its teeth.

Thank God for safety glass.
Crap. I'd still be shaking.
Are you shaking?
Bless.

Pia, I had the same experience with safety glass a few years ago. A piece of pipe came out of nowhere and hit the glass right in front of my face at 50 mph. A hell of a way to start a morning commute.
