## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO DFW DUE TO THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTING A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT DFW AND TAXIED TO THE GATE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE R2 SLIDING WINDOW DELAMIANTED NOT CRACKED AND REPLACED IT PER TASK CARD 26L21156001.
