Apple Store - Cracked

The iconic Apple Store window was shattered by a snowblowing company. For most buildings this wouldn't be too bad. Put up some plywood until the window is fixed; problem, temporarily, solved. 

Problem: the iconic Apple Store window is a glass cube. Vis a wii the exterior. Sooooo... Ouch. Oh, and the cost is something like $560,000 to replace the glass.

I have two tracks that the snowblowing company can take.

The company that blew the snow should say that they can't get it replaced, however, they can get Apple a reconditioned building for $330,000. It will have a limited warranty and should work like the original building. They should then offer a protective leather covering that will, not only keeps the building from shattering but also turn it off and on when opened and closed.

The second is as follows. File for chapter 11. Say that the glass will wash down stream and that the regular building will return in a "few days". The mayor can reassure the people that it's safe to re-enter the building, but should remind the citizens of NY that he is not a scientist and that they, the citizens of NY, should use their best judgement. A few days later, the company, now safely in chapter 28 (and it's a brilliant chapter our lead character has just blown up her own rail road  company looking for some one name Gault.) should say that manybe the structure has been damaged and the building could fall in at any moment but, don't worry the American public is picking up the bull, sorry, bill.

Alternately, maybe if they had turned the building off and on the windows might have restored themselves.  Maybe.
