Looks like a sealed vision unit that broke. Hard to imagine that breaking spontaneously. I'd be curious to hear more about what happened.

What is a sealed vision unit?

Building Toronto
When you look at a piece of glass that you can see through, you are actually (unless it is an old single pane) looking at two pieces of glass that have been sealed together with an airspace in between. This is known as an insulating glass unit (IGU), sometimes called a sealed unit. And since you can see through the glass, it is known as a vision.

Is the roof of the Four Seasons lit up tonight? I just got back from a walk through a local, suburban park, that has great view of the skyline, and it appeared that the crown of the tower was illuminated. Usually, all I can see from here is the tower's blinking red lights, on the rooftop, but there was a horizontal band of light that accompanied it tonight.

The ceiling height on that particular level appears to be 12-14'?

Is it being replaced in that pic, or were they doing other maintenance work? Also, do we know what caused it? structural failure or human error?

I looked later on and that glass still hasn't been replaced. I don't recall hearing what the cause of the shattered glass was in the end.

Considering that was through my bathroom window it turned out better than I expected.
A bathroom window?! Very posh!
