It looks like the failure had more to do with someone breaking the window than it failing.

Doesn't look like a human sized hole. I'd bet someone probably bumped into it on accident.

I am in no way suggesting someone jumped, but they may have had a bit of an angry moment and thrown a chair at it, or bumped into it, etc.

(Looks like the person I chatted with re: this development was right--ie a ton of glass has to be replaced because it's rubbish, including the canopy over the Bay Street entrance.)
