Some windows aren't glass at all, but acrylic. I would hate to have to go through THAT!


I've heard acrylic windows burn if you squirt lighter fluid on them, then strike a match. Don't know if it's true. In no event would I try it from inside the room! :-)

I heard that movie windows are made from sugar -- nothing is what it seems to be...


Here's the recipe:

Keeping it frozen extends the life of the pane if you need to store it for more than a few hours. (There are molds to make sugar glass bottles that you see breaking over people's heads in TV bar brawls.)

"Our fire person for our company office has an old fire axe in the computer room for him to break out his office window if there is a fire."

I'm just throwing this out there with no real info. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you have an axe handy, might it be more expedient and less dangerous to go right through the wall? Probably not concrete or brick...
