Hi there,

I don't think there is much physics in this question. But to answer you, 
there should be glass falling on both sides anyway. However,  it depends 
on the angle by which the brick has fallen on the glass, as well as the 
strength of the glass. The larger amount of the broken glass would fall 
definitely in the direction of the impact (inside in your case), and less 
amount in the opposite direction.
