Cockpit Window Crack in Boeing Flight

Boeing are again in the news!
 
A domestic flight of Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) returned to its departure airport after a crack was found on the cockpit window of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft midair. 
 
Flight 1182 was headed to Toyama airport in Honshu but headed back to the Sapporo-New Chitose airport in Hokkaidō, after the crack was found on the outermost of four layers of windows surrounding the cockpit, ANA said on Saturday.
 
There were no injuries reported among the 59 passengers and six crew. 
 
“The crack was not something that affected the flight’s control or pressurisation”, the ANA spokesperson claimed.
 
Note: The aircraft is not one of Boeing’s 737 MAX 9 planes which have been in the spotlight after the Alaska Airlines blowout. (Read my post "Alaska Airlines Ground All Boeing 737 Max 9 Planes" published on January 07).
 
Meanwhile, the US Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday they will intensify oversight of Boeing and the agency’s chief Mike Whitaker even sees “other manufacturing problems” at the largest US planemaker.
 
And it is reported that a Seattle law firm on the same day filed a class-action lawsuit against Boeing, saying passengers on the Alaska Airlines flight suffered physical and psychological injury and emotional distress. It seeks unspecified damages for the treatment of health conditions, travel expenses and the loss of personal items.
 
The war between Israel and Hamas enters its 100th day today as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Saturday, "no one will stop us"!
 
The carnage is unstoppable and the killings of civilians carry on. 😭😭😭😭
