## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT, THE F/O HEATED WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WITH NO APPARENT WARNING. THE CREW DEPRESSURIZED THE CABIN AND DESCENDED IAW THEIR CHECKLISTS AND CONTINUED THE FLIGHT TO THEIR DESTINATION. THE AC WAS ON A NON REVENUE FLIGHT TO A MAINT FACILITY FOR THE COMPLETION OF A C-CHECK. THE WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED AND NO DEFINITIVE REASON FOR THE FAILURE HAS BEEN DETERMINED. THE TT ON THE WINDOW CAN NOT BE ACCURATELY DETERMINED BUT THE WINDOW HAS A MANUFACTURE DATE OF JAN 20, 2000. (TC NR 20080213003)
