Cracked Cockpit Window Forces ANA Boeing Flight to Return

Second Incident Involving a Boeing 737 Model in Two Weeks Amid FAA's Increased Oversight of Boeing

An All Nippon Airways (ANA) domestic flight in Japan was forced to return to its departure airport after a crack was discovered in the cockpit window. The crack was found in the outermost of the four layers of the window.
The incident occurred on a Boeing 737-800, a model known for its reliability and strong safety record. The cause of the crack is still unknown.
No injuries were reported among the 59 passengers and six crew members on board. Alternative flights were arranged for the passengers.
This is the second incident involving a Boeing 737 model aircraft in as many weeks. However, the ANA flight was not one of Boeing's 737 Max 9 airplanes, which have been grounded by the US aviation regulator the FAA after a recent incident.
The FAA has extended the grounding of Boeing 737 Max 9 planes indefinitely for further safety checks and said it would tighten oversight of Boeing itself.
