A colleague of mine told me his back window shattered when he closed the drivers side door. Didn't slam it hard or anything... just closed it and poof, rear window gone.

It's a 2011 Ford Edge. Original owner.

Any guess as to why? Seems so strange. Never heard of it happening before.

Cabin pressure. Maybe there was a stress on the rear window from a previous rear end hit, or hit somewhere on the vehicle. Or it can just happen at random.

Hope he knows to watch for fuel leaking, tanks in those corrode and start to leak - there's an ongoing recall for that.

I googled it and there wasn't a whole bunch about it, especially for answers but it seems to affect many models of Ford SUVs and F150s.

I'm with you 01RedDX, I'm going with manufacturing defect... but its just weird that it would be fine for a long time then all of a sudden explode.
