Fortunately the glass didn't land on anyone walking by, but it did crash onto a van where a worker was inside eating lunch.

"I was shaken up, I didn't want to get out when I realized there was a window that fell because I didn't know if another window would come down," he said.

He was not injured.

There is no word on what caused the glass to fall.
