Air India Boeing 787 Windshield cracks during landing at Melbourne
In its latest series of mishaps, the windshield of a Air India Boeing Dreamliner cracked as the plane landed at Melbourne airport today though there was no threat to about 100 people on board, airline officials said. (www.indianexpress.com) 更多...

Windshields crack all the time. That is why they are easily replaceable. I doubt temperature differential near the ground would cause a problem. More likely birds or other debris. Stress cracks are possible with the twisting of the plane during landing, but that is almost always caused by shortcomings of the installer.

Like was said, all that was reported was that it cracked - for all we knew they hit a Canada Goose at landing...
Not a lot of Canada Geese at Melbourne. Perhaps a high-jumping kangaroo?
thts funny...
This means now that there something structurally wrong with the area around the window for it to keep cracking.
Bullcrap!!!!!!! Take you a poll of all airline mx programs and see how many windshields have been replaced over the past year. For awhile, until the fleet size grows, every little normal thing on a 787 will be National News. The battery deal brought them to worldwide attention and they will have that drug up every time somebody farts in a lavatory and a fan goes out.
Precisely:
And in other news, a 737 windshield probably also cracked today. Probably an A320, too.
We collectively go through this exercise every time a new fleet rolls out. Every little hiccup, from overflowing trash cans on up gets reported as though the sky is falling. The media sadly fails to put into ANY perspective that many of these same incidents happen every day on established fleets. When the A380 rolled out, every delay was breaking news. When was the last time a minor incident like this was reported on ANY OTHER fleet? Barring cabin depressurization as a result of the windshield failure, I'd bet it's been years (since that fleet was the "hot new product" on the market).

People tend to work out a pattern in farts too !
That's what makes them celebrities ! To stand apart from the crowd.
