Emergency hammer provided in AC coaches. With the wooden handle and the small head, I do not think it will be much effective in breaking the thick glass.

Not effective? I beg to disagree. The hammer is conically shaped at the two ends. The design of this hammer is such that with one blow cracks will start to originate from the point of impact and leave a hole.
