If anyone has a theory as to how the glass could have broken (I know there ain't much to go on here), holler.
The observations made before the problem are that
- I used hot wash/cold rinse cycle, which I rarely do
- I loaded a few towels (not a full load, just three or four bath towels)
- Jennifer heard the washer being unstable, which concerned her enough to start walking to the basement, but she stopped when she heard it settle
- Judging by the fact that there was no water or soap on the floor, and that the cycle appeared to have completed, I think the glass broke toward the end of the whole cycle (final spin).

From a friend:
"The front loader has very massive granite counterweight just behind the door. What I suspect has happened is pat of the shock absorbing suspension located behind the panel below the door has worked loose. When the new glass arrives make sure the granite weight is firmly attached and intact and the suspension is as well. besides that, should be on concrete floor, leveled, with (very important) weight evenly distributed over four legs. A better design would have been a tripod."
I will be sure to give it a look. I already saw that the bottom shocks are OK; the top ones are gonna take some work.
