## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AIRCRAFT WAS FLYING AT 45 THOUSAND FEET WHEN THERE WAS A HUGE POP ALMOST LIKE A SHOTGUN. CREW NOTICED THE WINDOW SHATTERED AND THEY IMMEDIATELY ASKED FOR A DESCENT AND TOLD ATC WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY NOTICED THE WINDOW CRACKED AND COULDNT TELL HOW DEEP SO THEY WANTED TO START THE DESCENT JUST IN CASE. WHILE DESCENDING THEY TOOK A BETTER LOOK AT THE WINDSHIELD AND NOTICED IT WAS ONLY THE OUTER LAYER THAY CRACKED.  SO, THEY STOPPED THEIR DESCENT AND CONTINUED ON TO THEIR DESTINATION.

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.
