Well done @AmithJeep to keep a cool head throughout the incident and to drive it back out together with us. I am glad that you were in the hands of two of the most amazing senior members of our club that has handled this event perfectly and accepted our help that allowed us to combine forces. As @Wrangeld mentioned we always do our utmost best with the entire team to minimize damage and support where we can. I hope the shattered glass won’t mean shattered dreams of picking up this hobby again. This has been a learning process that many of our sooner or later have to go through. In your case today it was sooner but I have no doubt you’ll come back stronger.
