Story goes that it was only up for an incredibly brief window (heh) and that tools were disallowed for all of the pre-screened participants of the competition. Supposedly, even with all of these measures in place, something still went wrong with the glass, causing the competition to run short.

I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.

I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.

You guys are all coming at this like they put real money in there

Bulletproof glass, but they didn't allow tools? Is this the company that made glass for the cybertruck?

PR, only installed for the photoshoot, if that.

They should've tried doing this in Romania, the entire bus stop would have disappeared overnight...

Pwffft they're trying to break it with their feet, so cute.

In Brazil they wrap ATM s in chains and rip them off using trucks. Then take the ATM to a safe house and bust it open. That is happening since 1990s.

I was surprised when I saw someone doing the same in Australia, with a constructions site digger. I think it was last year.

Conclusion: Brazil exports crime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey it's bullet proof, not foot proof

Can't you get like, a diamond drill bit and just give it a light tap? Tempered glass breaks easily if the outside layer is compromised.

This sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. Aside from the people that will hurt themselves trying to break that glass, it's a public bus stop. People will hurt bystanders and damage the bus stop and make it in general a place no one wants to be because of idiots constantly hurling stuff around or kicking it while you're trying to wait for the bus.

Why didn’t they just open it with a screwdriver and pry bar? Or steal the whole bus stop?

Find a spark plug, crumble, embed in shoe sole by stepping on it, jumpkick glass, become legend.

Get a long industrial chain, tie it around the display, drag the whole thing away with a truck. Drag all the way out to the middle of nowhere and then take your time figuring out how to break, take part, cut, burn, explode or destroy the glass.
