    Unless I’m not misinterpreting, it was the chief designer who ‘threw’ (lightly lobbed) a metal ball at the window when it shattered.

    They did later throw a ‘baseball’ at it that very suspiciously bounced unlike any baseball I’ve ever seen. Surprise surprise the tennis ball painted like a baseball didn’t break it 😅

      Yeah it was a metal ball that was just barely tossed against the window. From what I heard, the engineers told him not to do that, but he still did. They got a bunch of free publicity out of it, which is probably why he did it.
