Cracked reflection

Cracked reflection
This building is on a corner of Main St. It has enormous windows facing two streets and they were all cracked from top to bottom like this. I can't imagine how it happened. There was no earthquake (we have them very rarely). I wonder if something catastrophic happened with the foundation or other elements of the structure.

These windows brought back memories. Kingsley Field, an Air National Guard Fighter Wing is just south of town. In the 1950s-60s it was an Air Force Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (F-101 Voodoos). By the early '60s there were frequent sonic booms, scaring the wits out of the whole town. They repeatedly broke big plate glass windows in Klamath Falls. The USAF got tired of replacing the town's windows and residents got tired of frayed nerves, so breaking the sound barrier over town stopped after a few years. Now, the base is the Western US training base for F-15s and there is plenty of sparsely populated desert east of here to fly over.

No one has asked the cattle and pronghorn antelope how they feel about it.

I admit I didn't think of it that way, so thank you for the enlightened thought, Tanja!
