Safelite will charge you about $500 to recalibrate the forward looking camera, on top of the $400 or so to replace the windshield.

When mine cracked, I called the dealer I take it to, and they said “we have a guy…” Now, their guy might be from Safelite for all I know, but after two tries (first glass was also cracked, second glass was for the wrong model honda) he installed a new windshield for about half what Safelite wanted, and apparently did it carefully enough not to mess with the camera. The car still sees dead people and yells “BRAKE” when there's nothing there, so I guess it works. (ETA, it also yells when there is something there.)

It also sort of depends where you sit. People in the orchestra sections are usually more dressed up, while folks in the loges/balconies are more casual

I think the dispatcher heard “lift” and the “yes” to being “conscious,” and assumed he was OK, just unable to get up. The key words were that he did not respond to her (the roommate) when she called out to him. I'm not a dispatcher and I don’t play one on tv, but that would have sent my antenna up and I would have asked her to go over and shake him or something and see if he would respond. If not, send the bus L&S.

As I said in my first post, some retraining is in order here (or changing the existing training on how calls like this are answered).

Except that there actually are people with thousands of dollars in outstanding traffic/parking fines (and are still driving around free in those cars).
