We saw a vivid example of this with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor.
Many people were injured when they were standing next to windows watching the spectacle, not realizing the shock wave was on its way.
> ...about 1,500 people were injured seriously enough to seek medical treatment. All of the injuries were due to indirect effects rather than the meteor itself, mainly from broken glass from windows that were blown in when the shock wave arrived, minutes after the superbolide's flash.
