That’s pretty insane. They shoot turkeys out of a cannon to test those windscreens.

45000 or so deaths each year in the US from car crashes.
About 90 from airplane crashes, this year.

I was on a flight when the wind screen suddenly spider webbed with cracks. We were diverted to a different airport where repairs were made to the plane. Was pretty scary for everyone who knew what happened.

Well, how did you know what happened?

I know this is likely something caused by a bird strike and nothing Boeing related. Still doesn't help them in the public eye.
A 737 Max at that.

Flight attendant bypassed everyone and bee-lined it to you to tell you? Mmhmm.

Something definitely smacked the upper right part of the window near the frame. Maybe a bird or something.

Delta had a Boeing 747 with a windscreen that started to crack over the Pacific on their way to Japan from LAX. At the time they had 2 in their fleet (today they have 0).
The plane made an emergency landing at Midway (the island…not the airport in Chicago). The people on the island had to build wooden stairs so the passengers could get off the jet.
Meanwhile, Delta flew their other 747 to midway to pick up everyone and continue the trip.
So if you have flown on one of the two Delta 747s they had in their fleet after the Northwest merged….it has been to Midway island. LOL

Could still be a bird. Updrafts can lift them up pretty high.

Holy crap the midway story is true. That's a tiny runway for a 747.

Delta leased 747s from my company decades before that, that’s where they came up with the “Fly Delta’s Big Jets” slogan

Because I was considered part of the aircrew at the time.
