Title: Fake Cracking of Skywalk Glass
Post by: Ben on October 11, 2017, 09:35:07 AM: Sorry it's a Gizmodo* link, but I thought this was pretty funny. A glass skywalk in China has embedded LCD screens and sound to make it look like it's shattering as people walk over it. :laugh:

I suppose if this was done in the US, a lawsuit would be forthcoming.

* I used to like, or at least not mind Gizmodo when they mostly talked tech. Nowadays they seem to be 95% progressive talking points and 5% tech.
