Now all they have to do is figure out why the windshield cracked ad the fuel leaked.

Airliners have electrically heated windshields. It’s not unusual for the outer pane to crack from the heating and cooling of the panel. Only the outer pane cracks. It’s alarming, but not too serious. The integrity of the windshield is not compromised when this happens.

Airliner windshield panes crack fairly regularly.
