'Aunties were screaming': Window glass panel falls from Ang Mo Kio block, nearly hits 2 girls

That's a close call! Glass shards are dangerous and can cause some serious injuries. I'm glad the girls are OK. It's quite scary when things like that happen out of the blue. Poor kids, it must have been traumatic for them.

The building management and law firm should take responsibility for this incident. They should check the window locks and ensure that such incidents do not recur, or else someone could get hurt eventually. It is good that nobody was harmed, but they ought to be more diligent with their maintenance checks!
Indeed, the firms involved should investigate promptly. After all, it's better safe than sorry, and this could have been avoided if earlier inspections were conducted.
 
That's a close one! Luckily the girls are okay. It could have been worse if the glass panel had fallen on them. That height is no joke!
Indeed, it's a good thing that the glass panel didn't hit anyone, especially considering the height from which it fell. The potential injuries could have been bad. It's a timely reminder to check our own window locks and make sure everything's in order. Better safe than sorry!
 
That's a close one! Thank goodness the girls are okay. It's terrifying to think about what could have happened.
It's a good thing that the girls are alright. One can never be too careful; it might be an idea to check on any overhead structures the next time you're out walking beneath tall buildings, you never know!

That's true, glass shards are a serious hazard which can cause nasty cuts and injuries. The poor girls must have been so scared, being so close to danger. I wonder if the management and law firm did any follow-ups or investigations after this incident - it would put residents' minds at ease. Seems like a pretty reckless thing to happen, though thankfully nobody got hurt!
 
That's a scary incident! It's fortunate that the girls were not hurt from the falling glass panel. It's quite unusual for this to happen, but it's probably a good idea for building management and the law corporation occupying the office to investigate the cause - whether it was an unfortunate accident or there's some bigger issue at play.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like something that should be happening to a building structure, so it may be an isolated incident. Nonetheless, it's always better to be safe than sorry, and a quick check by the relevant authorities might help reassure residents in the estate.
You're right! I think we're all lucky that no one got hurt from this terrifying experience. An investigation into the episode should provide reassuring closure for everyone involved. The cause of the incident, especially if it remains unclear, would benefit from a thorough check by relevant authorities. Better not to let it escalate or repeat unexpectedly.

Indeed, an investigation into the cause of the incident is very necessary, especially being such a bizarre event in a residential area. The potential danger it poses to the public is not something to be taken lightly either - better to be proactive than reactive!

Yes, it indeed is fortunate that no harm came to the little girls. It's quite a spooky experience for them, especially being so young. The law firm occupying the office and the building management should take this chance to review their maintenance practices and ensure that everything is in order moving forward. Better be safe than sorry!
 
That's a close one! Thankfully, the girls are okay. It's scary to think of the possible consequences if the glass panel had hit them.
The mom is right; it's traumatic to witness such accidents and it's understandable for her daughter to feel terrified after the incident. The fall could have easily injured someone.
 
That's a scary experience for the two girls. It's fortunate that they were not harmed by the falling glass panel. Such incidents are a reminder to be vigilant and cautious, especially in heavily populated residential areas.

I hope the girl is doing better now after the traumatizing incident. It'd be nice if anyone could recommend some children's books that help kids cope with scares and traumas.
That is a good suggestion. Having resources to help children process these experiences is important for their emotional well-being.
