here is a picture of a bottle breaking when it hits a table.

Notice that many of the large glass fragments have achieved some sort of component to their motion that is inconsistent with pure gravity (i.e. straight down). Some of the glass and water appears to even be moving up! Did the government plant explosives in my Perrier bottle?
Nope. Turns out Newton "discovered" more than just gravity. He has three other laws of motion, the third in particular which explains the apparent anomaly. Turns out, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts and equal (yet opposite) force on the first one; in this case, shattering the glass and driving fragments of glass and water up.
You can replicate this experiment at home with any available fragile material.
