The New Hotness

  • Bullet Hole in Plate Glass

    Found this hole in the plate glass window of a church.

    The conchoidal fracture pattern is characteristic of a bullet impact at more-or-less right angles to the pane. I suppose, based on the very small entry hole and no damage to the opposite wall, that it was something like a BB gun at close range, rather than a 0.22-cal handgun or rifle far away.

    Somehow, you just know the lunkheads doing this sort of thing have never repaired a window themselves… when you’re a constructor, you just don’t go around destroying things.

    But maybe that attitude marks me as a fuddy-duddy.
