Aircon fell out window (sopuli.xyz)

I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.

I do but I'd rather not post. It wasn't very exciting to be honest, the aircon is actually still basically intact and just a bit bent. Mostly just glass everywhere from the window it fell out of. I think the actual impact happened in the garden bed because no tiles were cracked and there's a bit of an in dent in the soil. There's also now a perilous looking shard hanging out the above window which looks like it wants to fall down at any moment. The neighbour can't get to it because it's outside of a window they can't open.
