A gust of window reportedly caught one of the front glass doors at the Sydney (Australia) retail store, sending it whipping into an adjacent pane of glass and cracking it from top to bottom. The glass panel is about 12-feet tall and four feet wide, and is set between the store’s two front, double-doors. Photos of the cracked panel on flickr show the damage may have started at the bottom edge, adjacent to the hinge hardware for the left set of doors. The glass then cracked upward and diagonally across the pane to the top edge. The photos also show that the glass was later covered with white plastic. Check the location of the glass panel after the break.
The damaged glass panel is located between the two double-doors of the store, shown here outlined in red in a pre-opening photo. The crack started in the lower-left corner of the panel, and continued diagonally to the upper-right of the panel.

My local ABC affiliate had a van purposely drive into their street level studio during a live broadcast none the less and the 150 lbs bulletproof pane took about a month to replace since it was so big and so custom. Look for the same thing here with Apple’s glass.
