## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 3042 BWI-PHL - LEVELING OFF AT 10,000 FEET, THE CREW HEARD A LOUD BANG.  CAPTAIN AND FO NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD SHATTERED.  WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS THE W/S HEAT 1 FAIL MESSAGE APPEARED ON EICAS.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO BWI.  THE APPROACH AND LANDING WERE UNEVENTFUL.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED CAPTAIN'S WINDSHIELD IAW AMM 56-10-01.  OPS CHECK GOOD.
