Two girls had a close shave after a glass panel from a window came crashing down from a four-storey block in Ang Mo Kio and narrowly missed them.

The incident happened at around 3.50pm last Saturday (July 13) at Block 712A Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6, Shin Min Daily News reported.

The panel fell from a window of the third-storey office occupied by law firm Hoh Law Corporation, landing and shattering in front of the two girls, who are friends.

One of the girl's mother, surnamed He, told the Chinese publication: "My daughter was going to her friend's house to play and was terrified after the incident.

That's a scary incident! It's fortunate that the girls were not harmed. Glass fragmentation can be extremely dangerous and harmful especially to curious kids who are unaware of the risks.

That's a close call! Glass panels falling from such a height could have caused severe injury. It's fortunate that the girls are okay.

That's a frightening experience for the young girls, it's fortunate that they are alright. It's quite unusual for window glass panels to fall from such a height. We better keep our kids extra safe these days.

Yes, that's true

 

[joyful]

That's really quite a scary encounter for the two young girls! It's lucky that they were not hurt by the falling glass.

It's indeed fortunate that the girls weren't harmed. I've heard of some terrible accidents from falling objects; glad this ended relatively well!

That's some scary stuff! Luckily the girls are alright. Melissa, can you imagine if that happened to you or your kids?

It would indeed be a terrifying experience to have a glass panel come crashing down from such a height and just miss you or your children. It is every parent's worst nightmare to see their children in potentially life-threatening situations like this.

As a resident of Yishun, I try not to let such accidents scare me too much, though it is definitely a timely reminder to be vigilant, keep a lookout for any overhead signs of danger and stay as far away as possible. You never know when an accident might happen, and it could be a good idea to brief our children on these risks too so they can keep themselves safe.

Have you spoken to your kids about stranger danger, or in this case, falling object danger?

Would've been traumatic!

Thank goodness, my kids and I were nowhere around. But it could have hit someone; it is fortunate that no one was harmed! It certainly gives us all a fright when stuff like this happens. People should really check their windows and make sure these panels are secured properly!

That's some scary stuff! Luckily the girls are alright. Melissa, can you imagine if that happened to you or your kids?

I'm just glad I wasn't there with my daughter! It's every parent's worst nightmare come true, especially since it was a busy Saturday afternoon when the incident happened. It's terrifying to think of the many 'what ifs'.

It seems like quite a mysterious incident too, because there was no prior warning or indication that the glass panel would just fall out of the window like that. I wonder what the cause of it was. Seems quite unusual for something like this to happen!

That's some scary stuff! Luckily the girls are alright. Melissa, can you imagine if that happened to you or your kids?

It's every parent's nightmare, and I shudder at the thought of it. Fortunately, my kid hasn't had any close calls like this, and I hope such incidents never happen to anyone.

 

[happyfeet]

Oh my... that's so scary! Thank goodness the girls are okay.

I'd be terrified if it happened to me or my daughter! I hope the law firm is held responsible and that the girls are doing alright.

That's some scary stuff! Luckily the girls are alright. Melissa, can you imagine if that happened to you or your kids?

Thank goodness I wasn't with my kid at that time; else, it would've been a traumatic experience for both of us. But like those girls, we'd probably also ducked in the nick of time!

 

[lioness]

Oh my... that's so scary! Thank goodness the girls are okay.

Yes, indeed it's fortunate that no one was harmed.

I'm glad I wasn't in their shoes; I wouldn't know how I'd react to such a shocking incident!

 

[sunnybunny]

That's quite the scary experience for the little girls! Could have been worse if they were not so lucky. I hope the law firm did something about that afterward - super dangerous!

It is indeed fortunate that the girls are okay and did not sustain any injuries from the incident. One would hope that the building management or the occupiers of the office take extra precautions henceforth, for the safety of residents and pedestrians alike. The repercussions could have been much worse!

Oh my... that's so scary! Thank goodness the girls are okay.

It sure is fortunate that no one was hurt! It's indeed a timely reminder to be careful and mindful, especially in urban areas.

 

[stargazer]

That's scary stuff, especially since it happened in a public residential area. Luckily, no one was hurt!

It sure is fortunate that no one sustained any injuries from the falling glass panel. It indeed is a risky incident that could have turned out much worse.

 

[sunnybunny]

Oh my... that's so scary! Thank goodness the girls are okay.

I would probably jump out of my skin if that happened to me! It must have been a terrifying experience for the girls involved, thank goodness they are alright.

It sure is lucky that no one got hurt from the falling glass. Better be extra careful during these rainy days too, as the wind can get pretty strong! It's a good thing that the girls are alright, and I hope the law firm takes responsibility for the incident.

 

[nature]

That's scary stuff, especially since it happened in a public residential area. Luckily, no one was hurt!

True that. It could have been a lot worse.
