That 'I, er, a friend of mine...' speech is a rather old (and lame) explanation. The 'patient confidentiality' also helps, not that anyone would believe the doc if he said he treated Spider Man. It's kinda obvious he's well liked by N'Yawkas: they helped him out against both Gobby ("You mess with one of us and you mess with all of us!") and Ock (the subway car scene) or the way Robbie clutched Spidey's mask. 2) Maybe the car hit the curb while speeding and got launched through the window. It's not much different than Scientist Squid, er, Doc Ock shrugging off punches from Spidey. Besides, the arms have minds of their own.3) Octavius was confident in his equations and his ability while Harry showed support by having it in the middle of the city. The previous Manhatten Project didn't destroy the city so why should the second one?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
