Glass Falls Off Bank of America Building. Again.

The Gothamist Newsmap indicated there was "falling debris" at West 43rd Street and 6th Avenue in Midtown and now it turns out it's not ordinary debris: It's Bank of America window glass debris! CityRoom reports that a "pane of glass fell from around the 16th floor of the skyscraper." Apparently no one was hurt and the police closed sidewalks around the under-construction building. We'll repeat what a reader told us last time around: "Stuff falls from that building all the time, it's insane. I am never walking under it again."

Al Gore has offices in there. I suspect he knocked into the glass while attempting to install some CFLs.

In the case of the Abba drummer, that one may have brightened a few days.

Anyone who has seen The Omen knows how badly a pane of glass can ruin a person's day.

Actually, anyone who knows how the drummer from Abba died knows how badly a pane of glass can ruin a person's day
