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

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's a very considerate suggestion, given the situation's scariness. indeed, it's crucial to bring attention to mental health and how incidents like these can affect our little ones.
 
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.
It indeed is a lucky escape. I hope the incident will serve as a reminder for everyone involved to take extra precautions and ensure that such near misses don't happen again.

That's a good suggestion! Having resources to help children process these events is important for their emotional well-being.

Books like "The Magic Blanket" or "The invisible coat" by American author and art therapist Pat Palmer may be good recommendations to explore. Also, desensitizing the situation with humor (depending on the child's age) could help too; Mo Willems'sKnuffle Bunny series comes to mind, although it's more geared towards comforting kids who are anxious about separation.
 
That's a close one! Luckily, the girls are fine. It could have been worse if they were hit by the falling glass panel.
Indeed, it serves as a timely reminder for us to check our own window panels at home and ensure they are properly secured!

While I don't have personal recommendations for children's literature to help with trauma, I'm sure many forum members will be able to offer some good suggestions!

That incident certainly gives us a scare, reminding us to regularly check our window panes for any defects. Glass panels can be deadly when they come crashing down from such heights, especially in densely populated housing estates. Thankfully, this ended as a false alarm, but it could have been much worse.

Moral of the story: always check your window glasses and make sure they're in good condition! Better safe than sorry!

Mothers are always anxious for their kids. I'm sure they felt so relieved that their daughters were not harmed, thank goodness!

It's quite unusual for window glasses to just fall like that. There must have been some Culprit who tampered with the glass or neglected to maintain it properly. Somebody could have been seriously injured!
 
That's a close one! It's fortunate that the girls are alright. Accidents like these can happen anytime, and it's terrifying for everyone involved.
Yes, it's a timely reminder to always be vigilant and keep a lookout for potential dangers. We often don't realize how vulnerable we are in densely populated housing estates. It must have been shocking for the mothers too, who probably felt so powerless as they heard the glass shatter. Some of them might be haunted by the incident, wondering if there's something they could've done to prevent it.

Makes you think about how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change. It's lucky that incidents like these are rare. It'd be useful to conduct a building inspection though, to check on the state of the windows, especially in an older housing block like that one at Ang Mo Kio. I hope the girls are doing better after the incident - it must have been a huge fright.
