Shattered Glass

Did you catch this in your Sunday paper?

"KLANG : A couple had the shock of their lives when the windshield of the car they were travelling in shattered into thousands of pieces.

Mr and Mrs K were on their way back to Seremban. The incident took place at 2 pm, just as the car was approaching a flyover several kilometers away from the Kota Kemuning toll plaza. The otherwise pleasant journey was ruined by a loud crashing sound, followed almost instantaneously by cracks that formed radially from the point of impact. They did not know what hit them.

Mrs K was furious. Although there was no eyewitness to attest to her claim, she was certain a stone had been thrown in their direction. "We were not trailing any big trucks carrying debris or rocks so it could not have been a stray pebble that hit us. There must be someone on that fly over intentionally hurling an object at us. What scums! Don't they know that lives could be lost? We could have lost control of the car; the glass shards could have injured us. What kind of sick people are we raising?" Mr K was also visibly upset. He had lost his prized collection of car stickers accumulated from the different places he had worked in.

Car stickers beyond salvage

Traffic was not disrupted. The said flying missile had not been discovered, but police have yet to rule out any foul play. No KESAS official could be reached for comment."


That sort of summed up my weekend. A damaged car, no Spidey ticket, and pathetic broadband service.
