Lines: 21 Heard this from a friend... Date - 1980. Person is driving a '79 Monte Carlo through town. All of a sudden the windshield cracks. It was not caused by a kid throwing rocks because the crack was rather straight. Anyway the person pulls off the road and a cop pulls up a few seconds later. The cop had been using radar and the windshield had a built in antenna wire. Could radar hitting the wires in the glass cause them to resonate so much that the glass cracked?
