NC coast near Wilmington.
Someone lit some fireworks.
Tipped over.
Hit a bush.
Caught fire.
My kids opened the window with an AC unit, to see the fire dept. It was not bracketed. So it fell from2nd floor and hit our vehicles while fire dept was putting out bush. Luckily no one was under it.
They did let my kids use the fire hose though.

How did the falling a/c damage the front of the car and break the rear-side window?
Seems odd.

Look at the pic of the house. It fell, the minivan was parked facing toward the how’s. Suburban was backed in. Unit fell between them.
We moved suburban under house after police left.

Craziest part of the story is that the AC unit wasn't bracketed in. How does that happen? That was negligent as shite by the owner of the building!

In the heat of the moment, I yelled at my son for opening g the window.
Then I thought, those things should not fall outward.
