Having witnessed a similar incident at my local zoo in which a male gorilla raced up to the glass of his enclosure and suddenly punched it hard enough to shake the structure after a man pressed up against it from the other side, I can say how terrifying such a happening is, even though the glass wasn't smashed. Such accounts give me uneasy feelings about keeping these intelligent, powerful animals caged up, frustrated and bored.
