Hey it’s bullet proof, not foot proof
foot clan operations intensify
Not on our watch!
Have they tried shooting it?
I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.
No no no. Chop chop master onion head taught me everything I need to know.
Kick punch it’s all in the mind, if ya wanna test me, I’m sure you’ll find, the things I teach ya are sure to beat ya! Nevertheless you get a lesson from teacher! Now…
KICK!
Dremel with a diamond drill bit would make quick work of that
If it’s 3 million dollars, my car at 30mph should handle it.
Pretty much any tool with a cutting surface made of tungsten, high speed steel, or industrial diamond.
But one source I found says they only let people use their feet.
And nobody thought to install some glass breakers on the bottom of their boots?
Edit: Hell, I’d even consider wedging a nice sharp piece of quartz into the tread of a boot.
Bullet proof glass is plexiglass/polycarbonate, so I don’t think a glass breaker would help.
This isn’t plexiglass, it seems to just be laminated glass
Hmm, bullet proof glass is plexi/polycarb, so I wonder why they’re advertising it as such.
What about spiked cleats?
Oddly enough having lots of spikes hurts your chances by spreading the force over more area. You’d really just want a single small spike.
If they’re only allowing kicking, you should use a 50cal shoe!
Bus stop.
Bus.
Pretty sure if the bus went at it fast enough backwards it would do better than some clown and his size 11s
There was a guard. It was only $500. People were invited to kick it, but it was monitored.
Ah, I’m going to miss Snopes in the post-truth society. :(
Get a long industrial chain, tie it around the display, drag the whole thing away with a truck. Drag all the way out to the middle of nowhere and then take your time figuring out how to break, take part, cut, burn, explode or destroy the glass.
Box truck with Faraday cage for blocking gps.
This reminds me of that breaking bad episode.
PR, only installed for the photoshoot, if that.
Well, I’d give it a shot at least
Yeah, but after you’ve taken a shot of vodka, what are you going to do about the money?
You’re mistaken. They want to give the vodka to the glass.
They should’ve tried doing this in Romania, the entire bus stop would have disappeared overnight…
Half of Europe: Romanians steal everything!
Otther half of Europe: Czechs steal everything!I was so certain the link would lead to the website of the British Museum.
Yeah, it was unfair of me to propagate the stereotype (speaking as a Romanian myself). We have a lot of good people around here, who’re just doing their best to be decent and get by.
But it’s not easy being an honest citizen in a country where the most prolific thieves are the people who’re supposed to govern it… Corruption has been the main thing plaguing these lands ever since the Revolution, when the profiteers saw an opportunity to sell this country for parts…
To be clear, I’m not siding with the former “Communist” regime, which was a Totalitarian cesspit, but I sure as fuck don’t agree with the mockery of Democracy which came after that, either…
You’re right, systemic theft (corporate and institutional) is way more damaging than petty theft and people don’t talk about it nearly enough. Both occur at different rates in different countries but mostly based on opportunity, not culture.
Yeah… doesn’t matter who we are… Romanians, Czechs, Germans, Americans, whatever… All of the same flesh.
We’ll just keep returning here, over and over again, as long as we let greed and hate drive us. The tools are not to blame, it’s the hands which use them that are.
Story goes that it was only up for an incredibly brief window (heh) and that tools were disallowed for all of the pre-screened participants of the competition. Supposedly, even with all of these measures in place, something still went wrong with the glass, causing the competition to run short.
Good name. You’re doing good work!
so who won
Some marketing agency
Who’s next?
Source pls
Thank you. It was quite an interesting read
This was a good reminder to check a link before to click
URL check saves me once again. I can’t believe how many people just raw dog links.
I like to think of myself as a teacher first, prankster second
Why even participate in online discussion
Takes just about as long to type a query into Google as it does to type “source please” and wait there with your hand out
See my previous comment
Not the glass, the metal frame was being slowly destroyed though.
Just get a ute and some angle grinders, detach the entire thing from the bus stop qt the dead of night and take your time to work on it at home
Just make sure your hiding your identity
Use a super common ute with a number plate switcher that rolls the number plates and switch number plates in a large enough area with camera deadspots
Then ditch the car somewhere, light it up to incinerate it and switch to another vehicle in another camera deadspot
And no one went up to it with an angle grinder? Pretty sure you can cut it with a diamond blade.
the plastic in the lamination would foul it.
Personally… I would have gotten a hammer-drill and put a chisle bit on it. It’ll take time but you’ll get there. Alternatively, I’d attack the seam around it (Cutter spreader should take that nicely.) (you can rent a hammer drill for like… 50 bucks. and I know you can rent various types of cutter spreaders, too.)
Go on facebook marketplace, buy cheapest car near me that runs rhe have “car accident” in the wee hours.
Your comment is the fifth from the top in my view. And I had already decided to crash a car without airbags into the sign. Why wait for the wee hours? Just do it®
Legit? Theres been several incidences worldwide of people driving cars into crowds of people and I dont want to get accused of domestic terrorism or have to beat a bunch of public endangerment charges in court.
I mean its 3 MILLION DOLLARS! but its also only 3 million dollars. If I have to replace the bus stop, pay a bunch of lawyer fees, have my licence revoked for a year or two, possibly have charges on my record that would make it hard to get a job… Its “life just got a lot easier” money but not quite “Set for life”
Pwffft they’re trying to break it with their feet, so cute.
In Brazil they wrap ATM s in chains and rip them off using trucks. Then take the ATM to a safe house and bust it open. That is happening since 1990s.
I was surprised when I saw someone doing the same in Australia, with a constructions site digger. I think it was last year.
Conclusion: Brazil exports crime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
we had a rash of people doing that to ATMs in the US, too.
That’s the standard practice in most countries- if you take the whole unit you can break into it later!
Unless your partner in crime is a SKANK!
This sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. Aside from the people that will hurt themselves trying to break that glass, it’s a public bus stop. People will hurt bystanders and damage the bus stop and make it in general a place no one wants to be because of idiots constantly hurling stuff around or kicking it while you’re trying to wait for the bus.
If I was driving the bus I would just brake a little too late when arriving at that stop.
I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.
The gimmick was you couldn’t do it with tools.
You can’t use anything at all if it’s effective actually.
Define tools. Does a .50bmg SLAP count? Because there’s no way that glass is rated to take anti-mat rounds.
Of course you can’t do it without tools, I wouldn’t want to break a regular window without tools, get my hand all cut up again and shit (last time was an accident). “No tools” makes the contest meaningless.
Yeah - without tools would be impossible.
That being said, for that kind of cash, I’d accept getting my hand cut up and shit.
Well fair and even if you could one punch man that shit the glass should act differently due to the lamination so you prob would get less cut, but also do gloves count as tools?
The real gimmick is there isn’t really 3 million in there.
Wanna bet?
You couldn’t as you weren’t allowed to. It was a bad marketing campaign because people think “omg why it’s so easy”.
Yeah, not allowing any tools shows a lack of confidence in their glass.
The CEO that stood behind his company’s bullet proof glass while an employee shot it with an AK or something knew how to do it.
Walk up with steel stilettos and a practiced kick and you might have a shot.

The images are made to look like CCTV footage of a bus stop, but there is zero chance they left that much money in there unprotected. You could just ram it with a car and haul it home. Either it’s fake money or it was only there for a day with a crew for filming.
There was a contracted security guard there at all times, a rule that you couldn’t use any tools, and they called it off after a day when the bus stop frame started to weaken. Only $500 of real money was placed on top of a bunch of fake money.
There isn’t any actual money inside.
I think they limited you to only being able to kick it
Are you gonna tell the guy who shows up with a .500 Smith and Wesson revolver he’s not allowed to shoot it?
That makes sense. When I read that, my immediate thought was: demo saw.
What is the point then. I’d be pissed if someone was able to break a regular window by kicking it. If you have to prove that your bullet proof glass can stand up to kicks I’m not going to be confident in your product. Let people bring their own shit and show what it would take to get through it. You know, unless it sucks, which I assume to be the actual case here.
Go kick a window in your house right now. If you don’t live in a highrise, you can almost certainly kick it out.
Please don’t. Chances are high that the window is not made of security glass and if you kick the glass in, you’ll get serious cuts in your leg. That’ll range from a flesh wound to life threatening damage in a blood vessel.
Proving the strenght of the glass is only their secondary goal. Their primary goal is marketing, getting their name out there, and having people talk about their brand.
And hey, they sure succeeded, as I’ve seen this exact image way too f-ing often.
Why didn’t they just open it with a screwdriver and pry bar? Or steal the whole bus stop?
Man steps into bus whole bus stop on his back. Bus driver doesn’t even flinch. Happens every day.
Find a spark plug, crumble, embed in shoe sole by stepping on it, jumpkick glass, become legend.
The ceramic edges of broken spark plugs are really good at breaking tempered glass, but tempered glass is on a certain sense the opposite of bullet proof glass.
That helps with the glass, but bulletproof glass uses multiple polymer layers and tempered glass layers alternating.
So you would only get through the top glass layer and do nothing to the polymer layers or 2nd layer of glass.
aren’t there any methods, like some big hammer to smack it after you break that layer. you have all the time in the world, i wonder if it pays out to travel there smack the glass and take 3mil$
The problem is that glass absorbs energy to break, polymer deforms to absorb energy. So you have something absorbing energy in two different ways that robs kinetic energy very well.
Even just a normal household double pane window with one thin layer of polymer on both panes will take a long time to bust through with a hammer if the outer polymer is bonded to the frame appropriately. If you put paper tightly between both panes top to bottom, you would be in for a task because the paper reenforces against the deflection the hammer imparts.
You aren’t allowed to use tools with the money case, but ignoring that, you could shoot it with a .50 cal AP round towards the top and almost certainly make it through and then you just hammer and crowbar down to get the cash by peeling away the glass.
The other way you could attack it is to just drive a car at the far side from the support and hopefully peel the glass away from the frame enough to get in.
Even taking a hammer to it would be a laborious task to make any meaningful progress in a reasonable amount of time. A pickaxe would be useful, a framing hammer face less so.
an angle grinder would be a much better choice than hammers
Yes, with a respirator.
Hammer drills are basically “small” jack hammers that can also operate as a drill. Put it in hammer mode and repeated chisel at it. it’ll take some time, but eventually the glass will be broken and you can then deal with the polymer layers by yanking.
