Well this is not good.
And its a serious threat to anyone walking on the sidewalk, or driving on the street, near this building.
WTF?
Attaching windows to residential and office towers has been done for several decades. Why this building? Did they screw something up? Try something new? Clearly the thing that works on the worlds tallest buildings is not being done here! This building is apparently adjacent to popular walking and biking path in the city.

... over 60 windows have "spontaneously" broken across three towers. Residents claim management has done little despite three years of complaints.
According to Penn Live citing Fox 29, recent months have seen six or seven windows fall, posing a danger. PMC Management stated they are aware of the issues and have taken immediate steps, including filing a lawsuit against Wausau Window.
