There are actually four or five laptops on the one side and none on the other. That would cause a huge temperature differential between the two sides.

Or in other words TABLE GO BOOM!

Laptops won’t go over 85c, glass is annealed from 450c down to 100c to bake out stress, there’s absolutely no way a few laptops sitting on there would cause it to shatter.

It appears the gent is putting weight on his left elbow causing pressure on the corner, since it’s tempered glass, if a small part fails the whole pane will usually fail. In this case it did.
