A pal of mine in the glass industry told me of the very expensive high specification laminated reflective glass used on the sides of the terminal building.

There were frequent unexplained failures of the glass; careful investigations by the manufacturers revealed nothing wrong with the specifcations or installation method.

Eventually, one of the investiagtors saw what was happening - a Billy Goat was charging its reflection in the glass and cracking it!
