The big problem is Airlines are demanding plane manufacturers lower the weight of planes or lower the price; all in the quest to lower fuel costs.

It’s a fool’s bargain. There is a limit to what is safe.

There was an incident in the UK several years ago where an improperly installed cockpit windshield failed in flight and sucked the pilot out the window; and it was the quick thinking of another crew member that saved him from flying off into the sky. The co-pilot made an emergency landing at a small airport and, incredibly, the pilot survived.

Here’s a link:

This is not completely out of the ordinary. Cracked windscreens happen on high speed aircraft.

If the windscreen held, and the aircraft landed successfully, it's not a catastrophe, it's an inconvenience, and a tribute to modern materials and engineering.
