This one actually did happen (I believe in Texas):
An elementary school class went on a field trip to a nearby commercial building. The teacher brought them up to the twentieth floor where an employee wanted to demonstrate the strength of plexiglass. After the typical demonstrations, the employee apparently felt that he had not yet fully conveyed the fact that plexiglass is unbreakable. He went over to the window, a large, full wall substitute, and began banging on it. To put a final triumphant exclamation point on his demonstration, the man took a few steps back and got a running start at the window, hitting it with his shoulder. The force of the blow knocked the entire panel loose, and both the panel and the employee plummeted 20 stories. The panal shattered upon impact.
