After working for many years on military acft I have seen this before. Most times its a bird strike but I have also seen where the window heat malfunctions and causes a window to crack.

Reminds me of a thick DC-8 windscreen that was chained to the ground behind an airline maintenance hangar. It was accompanied by a chained sledgehammer, all to be used in working out any job-related frustrations. Many maintenance workers could not be hurt the beast Other than some deep scratching and a bit of glass crazing.

I poked around on FlightAware and it seems they run 757's on this route.

I have had the outer panel on the King Air I was flying shatter. On another, I had an inner panel shatter. Run your finger nail on the glass. It it catches, it is an inner pane.

I was suprised that they did not give Aircraft make and Model. Bad Glass, incorrect instalation, Design flaw. I lean bad Glass.

One of the biggest reason is Windshield Heat Controller... Temp runaway will crack them everytime.

Not at all... Keep in mind that the Windshield is normally 3 Layers. Normally it is only the outer pane that is cracked. Depending on the Plane and depending on the crack you can ferry to a maintenance base. You cannot ferry an inner pane crack on most planes however and it does require in most cases for a mechanic to inspect the window prior to ferry.
