And while no one, fortunately, was hurt, 1010 WINS spoke to two street vendors: One said pieces of glass "hit him on the head" while "another vendor said he had to push his cart down the street after shards of glass fell into his food."

A few more details on the pane of the glass that fell from 1 Times Square (where the ball drops on New Year's) yesterday afternoon: The 3' by 5' chunk was "between the seventh and eight floors" of the 23-floor building.
