Story goes that it was only up for an incredibly brief window (heh) and that tools were disallowed for all of the pre-screened participants of the competition. Supposedly, even with all of these measures in place, something still went wrong with the glass, causing the competition to run short.
I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.
There was a guard. It was only $500. People were invited to kick it, but it was monitored.
I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.
I think they limited you to only being able to kick it
The gimmick was you couldn’t do it with tools.
Fuck the rules, it’s 3 million, I’m going to do whatever is necessary to smash that glass 😎
The images are made to look like CCTV footage of a bus stop, but there is zero chance they left that much money in there unprotected. You could just ram it with a car and haul it home. Either it’s fake money or it was only there for a day with a crew for filming.
There was a contracted security guard there at all times, a rule that you couldn’t use any tools, and they called it off after a day when the bus stop frame started to weaken. Only $500 of real money was placed on top of a bunch of fake money.
