| Description of the problem | Driving down the freeway i noticed a small pebble, no bigger than the very tip of my pinky finger coming towards my drivers side windshield. It hit the upper part of my driver-side windshield. Upon impact there was no noticeable damage. Less than a mile down the road a very visible growing crack was occurring right in front of me. Naturally, i have had car windows crack in the past, there was something strangely bizarre and dangerous about this crack. Upon arriving 2 hours later at my destination i was greeted by my father whom i reiterated the account too. He seemed astonished by the size and depth of the crack through the glass. |
