(-23) ON JANUARY 11, 2002, AIR MIDWEST FLIGHT #5545 A BE-1900-D WAS AT FL230 WHEN THE WINDSCREEN CRACKED. THE CREW IMMEDIATELY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND DESCENDED TO LOWER ALTITUDE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
