This drawing I did in my journal is pretty much exactly what happened to Canadian Garry Hoy on July 9, 1993. Hoy was trying to prove that the windows at Toronto-Dominion Centre where he worked were totally unbreakable. Hoy threw himself onto the window as a joke. While the window didn’t break, it did fall out of its frame and sent Garry flying 24 stories down to the ground where he was killed. 1

A silly reenactment, in French. This is totally false, because in the video, the window breaks, which it did not in real life.
