Aww, shucks, Hazz. You made me blush with that one. We could break that glass together, then talk about surface tension while we cut some replacememts. Sizzlin' hot. . . .

Yep, random and unavoidable, Metaphor. Not so much some pressure points that decided to give in but rather some weak ones. Now that I've seen your pictures, let me ask you this. Was all that stuff down there with the glass fragments on top of the table surface before it fractured? The bottles, plates and other miscellaneous contents? Also, I see that table has a center rod like for an umbrella, I guess. Did the glass have a hole in the middle of it that the center rod went up through? I ask because any glass with a hole in the center of it is structurally weaker than a flat panel to begin with.

Don't think you have yourselves a plaintiff's action there, Metaphor. Nice try. LOL! It'd cost you more to retain an attorney to start that action than it would to replace that table 10 times over AND get group therapy for post-traumatic glass disorder.

This has been a fun thread!
