<VV> tempered glass-handle with care

I have just experienced a frightening event; the explosion of a tempered
glass door window.

I was working on the power window mechanism of an Allante. The door glass
was out and resting on the arms of a leather chair (don't ask), in a
vertical position. It was solidly placed as not to shift or fall. I
continued working on the motor and drive in the door when 10 minutes later,
this sound of a shotgun goes off, followed by this falling sleet of glass
pebbles...WTF! 

Glass pebbles are EVERYWHERE. All that's left of the window is the lower
mounting bar.

I have no idea why this happened, but obviously there was stress somewhere.

Oh, it was Italian  glass...
