I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD BOOM. I COULD HEAR SOMETHING SLIDING DOWN MY ROOF AND OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEN I HEARD A WIND NOISE ABOVE. I REALIZED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS BROKEN AND GLASS WAS CASCADING DOWN AND FLYING OFF OF MY CAR. IT JUST SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT THE SUNROOF AND TO SEE IF THERE WAS A ROCK THAT HIT IT OR SOMETHING ELSE. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE EXCEPT FOR A SHATTERED SUNROOF WITH A HUGE HOLE. THE GLASS WAS POINTING UPWARD AS IF IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE.
