The driver’s side window of a city bus mysteriously shattered as the vehicle picked up passengers in Manhattan Friday morning, police and transit officials said. The driver and passengers on the southbound M104 managed to escape injury when the glass was smashed on Broadway between 85th and 86th Sts. shortly after 7 a.m. MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said a rock hit the glass, but cops said no object that could have broken the window was recovered. The driver did not report any arguments with passengers before the window broke. Police are investigating the incident.

Yikes. 7 am is kind of early for kids playing with rocks. Could have also been a rock that got accidentally thrown from a construction site if there was one nearby. I saw that happen once

If not a construction site, could of just been debris from a truck passing by. I've seen this too many times to car's windshields.

Same here. Though the fact that it hit the side window is a bit odd. Still, Anything is possible

There are rare instances where hitting glass in the right spot (cleavage) can cause it to shatter. Vibrations or heat could do the same.
