This is old news by several years, but I came across it again and thought I would share for anyone who missed it:
3M was so sure their Security Glass was unbreakable, they put a large stack of cash behind it and shoved it in a bus stop. Great advertisement, right?
Actually, it was only $500 of real currency stacked on top of fake money, and people could only use their feet to try to break it. A security guard was present to make sure no one broke the rules and that people couldn't get to keep the money if they broke it.
Nevertheless, a glass that can stand a double-footed kick from a man with a 30 foot head start is impressive. Don't you wish your iPod screens were made out of this?
If anyone can find any video footage of the attempts made, please send to zareh@inznews.com
