“On thursday, august 12, 2010, approx. 6;15pm, my son and I were parked in a parking lot preparing to enter my sons tae kwon do class. We arrived a bit early so decided to sit in the van for approx. 5 minutes. The driver and passenger windows were partially rolled down as we waited. When it was time to go to class, my son approached the rear of the van to retrieve his duffel bag, as he approached, there was a very loud boom and the rear window just blew out with a strong force. Glass shattered for several feet outward. We were shaken by the boom. …”
