I T- boned a car. When my front end hit it the airbags were set off. The passenger side airbag had way too much charge in it occurring to the insurance adjuster. When it went off it exploded so hard and fast that the top of the dash flipped up and shattered the window in that shape. The rest of the window is fine but this really exploded and could have killed someone if they had been in the front seat when this happened.
