On Thursday night, shattered glass fell from the iconic Transamerica Pyramid building, drawing comparisons to past incidents in San Francisco where high winds caused similar events. This incident, however, occurred on a clear night.
Commenters on social media recounted near-misses with shards of glass from the Transamerica Pyramid, illustrating the dangerous situation that unfolded as a result of the window pane breaking during routine maintenance.
After the glass incident, the SF Department of Building Inspection issued a Damaged Building Notice to the Transamerica Pyramid owners, requiring immediate action to secure and replace the broken pane.
The spokesperson for the Transamerica Pyramid confirmed that the window pane was damaged during a routine cleaning, emphasizing relief that no injuries occurred despite the hazardous situation.
