The scaffolding is being removed around the
Cheval Bethesda luxury condo tower at 4960 Fairmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It was temporarily erected after glass fell from an 8th floor balcony; all similar glass components have now been replaced by developer Duball, LLC. Scaffolding remains around the
Flats 8300 apartments along Woodmont Avenue, Battery Lane and Wisconsin Avenue months after glass shattered and struck a child on the sidewalk below.

ReplyDelete"It was temporarily erected after glass fell from an 8th floor balcony;" Doesn't glass normally fall from a window?
ReplyDelete"all similar glass components have now been replaced by developer Duball, LLC." How do you see through a Duball or an LLC?
Robert is correct. The tempered glass pieces shattered in a glass balustrade on a cantilevered balcony and small glass pieces fell to the ground. Not a whole sheet of glass, and not from a window. When tempered glass fails, it breaks into tiny pieces, like the side and rear windows of a car.
ReplyDeleteMoCo Police at the scene said, "It was almost as if the balustrade got bodyslammed into a coffee table."
ReplyDeleteGreat update on the falling glass situation.
